Will a jubilee fit on an Oyster Perpetual 39?

[Bonhomme Richard]

Has anyone done this?

I've been contemplating my next watch for over a year now. My preference has evolved like this: Tudor Black Bay (red bezel) ---> Tudor Heritage Chrono ---> JLC Reverso ---> Omega SMP w/ceramic bezel ---> Tudor Black Bay Bronze ---> Tudor Black Bay (blue bezel) ---> Breitling Superocean Heritage.....

and finally ending up at the OP 39. I love the clean lines, classic look, and elegant simplicity. It's also a great, versatile watch for different occasions, events, and surroundings. As you can see by my meandering thought process, I wanted a watch to basically do everything and fit in everywhere. I think the 39 does. I'm really a big fan.

My only question is, has anyone fitted it with a jubilee bracelet? I have a soft spot for the jubilee and I'm wondering how it would look on it.

So no one has tried to put this on a jubilee (or was ever at least a little curious about it)?

No feedback on this?

Yes it will.....I have 3 kinds of Jubilee and they all fit. Just make sure if you use older end links on newer case (w/o holes) to dremel inside part of the end links just enough that strap tool can get it to release the spring bars. You can use 502T but it's pricy and rarely on sale. So far for 20mm lug width...only 116900 does not work with any job end links due to its hole positions.

Thanks for your reply.
I was thinking about the super jubilee.
On the older style jubilee the end links can be bent a little to fit...

Wish I knew how the super jubilee would look on OP 39 white dial....

This is great info! Do you happen to know if that is also true of the Oyster Perpetual series 1160XX? I have a 116034 that I've been trying to put on a jubilee bracelet. But all of the end links I receive don't match up with the holes on the case. Typically they are not "shallow" enough.
