Anyone know where to get a jubilee bracelet for my new Z ser GMT Pepsi that is inbound? I have seen some great shots of that combination and it looks great on this watch. Just curious if there is a good place to purchase and what it should cost.

Any info would be appreciated.

congrats on your new pepsi,great choice.I was thinking of doing the same thing to my pepsi,I would go to an authorized service ad and have them try to order one for you.you also need to get relief cuts where the pins go,just look at the underside of your GMT.your GMT doesn't have lug holes to remove the bracelet pins,it has relief cuts.I'm pretty sure rolex's that had jubilee's didn't have the relief cuts because they didn't need them because the lugs had holes to remove the bracelet.I saw a nos jubilee bracelet on fleebay for $700,one thing it didn't have was the fliplock clasp.one other thing to lookout for also.

When searching for or ordering a Jubilee bracelet, you should go for the bracelet ref. # 62510.

An AD , Also while I am in this thread , My AD had a rootbeer on a jubilee , do rolex send these from the factory on jubilee ?

Although my K series GMT II has lug holes I was able to purchase a like new jubilee from a member of TimeZone.com that dates from 2005. It has 502B end pieces. They allow for installation and removal without lug holes.
Finding a used jubilee is tough but it can be done. You might be able to talk an AD into selling one but the cost is about $750.00, I think.

Having both oyster and jubilee bracelets for your pepsi GMT is a great option. Add the other inserts and you have 6 watches in one!

Good luck,

No, the jubilee never came with a fliplock clasp. I've never had a problem with the simpler clasp design on either the jubilee or oyster bracelet.

I'm still wondering if the new style Jubilee will fit. I will get the nerve up soon to try a swap.

Dan,

Thanks for the great pics and info. I am really liking the look of the jubilee. I will keep my eyes and ears open and ask around some too.

Thanks all for the info.

Me too

My GMT is a K series too. I want a Jubilee so bad I can taste it. But, I've looked everywhere and can't find one

But, seriously, Dan. That's one of the best looking GMT's I've seen

I really like having the option to switch between the two.

Great pics as always Dan!!

Yes they did as far as I know. But keep in mind that things were much different back in those days. Rolex did not have an iron grip on all the parts, so dealers were willing and able to make modifications to watches. I'll post up a pic of mine.

CPCC · 15 February 2008, 02:24 PM

The more I look at it, the more I want a Jubilee bracelet

Dan Pierce · 15 February 2008, 11:33 PM

Thanks for the kind words, gentlemen!

And my Rolex pouch, purchased from Jeff [colemanitis], worked like a charm to keep my GMT well protected!
