Tudor Jumbo 7020 bracelet

Waiting for my watch to come in on Monday. It’s got an after market strap.
Wondering what is the original bracelet and end link? Or any other period authentic bracelets that I can look into.

Sorry for the grainy photo but it’s all I got from the seller. He’s sort of reputed in Toronto so purchased on a whim. Hope its authentic.

Did you get the black dial 7020 that was sold with that guy who gets incredible watches, has zero description other than "see photos"?
Hope so, it looked pretty good under a beat crystal.
I am not sure the 'authentic' bracelet to go with that, but a I have mine on a vintage Rolex jubillee bracelet (blanking on code of bracelet) with 555 end links and really dig it.

My 7020 originally came on a US made oyster. They have no numbers but it's the same as a folded link 7206. I prefer the jubilee, the number escapes me but it's the common one for the era with 55 end links.

I don't have a Tudor 7020, but I have a 94500 with a Jubilee folded bracelet. I believe they're the same case size. The end links are marked 596 and the clasp (Rolex) 6246-20. I hope this helps.

The 6248-20 is a nice band. I have one on a 79090, as it took only a small adj to get it to accept the thicker bars. The ends I have are not 596 rather 600s. Really nice sturdy bands, but there are fakees on the bay to beware of.

I bid on that but didn’t win :(. Got a blue one though, not sure if it’s an original or repainted dial. But am super happy with the watch. I’ll check out the bracelet you mentioned. Thanks

Stunner! I am not sure on dial either...I have seen the silver, black, grey and this would be the first blue.
I really feel like 7020's are under appreciated gems, stainless DD's with a 60 minute rotating bezel? I'll take it! Considering a Stainless Rolex DD is in the 75-175k range, it makes me love these even more.
