Correct 1968 SS Jubilee Bracelet?

Greetings,
I wish to enjoy my 1968 GMT on a SS Jubilee bracelet but before I do, what is the correct bracelet for it (end links, clasp, etc)? I am looking for one but need to ensure I get the correct one. Thanks in advance to all you experts!

68' GMT would have normally come with a 7206 w/80's I believe. If you wanted to go with a jubilee, I believe it would be 62510H w/55's.

I thought GMTs used 502 endlinks?

Re:

Either a 7206 with 80 end links, or if you want a Jubilee then a 6215H with 55 end links.

Wow, you guys are way smarter than Google

I still have the original 7206 bracelet. So how much is a fair price for a good shape 6215H w/ 5 end links?

NOT MINE! And if the link is not allowed, please remove it. This is on the lower side with some stretch, but not bad IMO. More $ from here with better condition.

That would not be correct - and 55 end links were originally on a 6251 Datejust Jubilee. (62510 would be much newer than the watch.)

Original equipment would be a 6251 Jubilee with 50 end links, a clasp dated 69 or preferably 70, or a nice USA oval link Jubilee with unmarked end links.

If you want a newer 62510 Jubilee, it should have 50 stamped on the last bracelet link on each side and the end links should be stamped 550.

You can use a 6251h with 55 ends OR a usa oval link jubilee which has unmarked endpieces. Mexican jubilee is also acceptable.

My newly acquired 69 came with USA oval link jubilee with 50 end links. It's in the shop right now. Will take pics when I get it back.


I blame it on the autoconnect.

Thanks for the clarification JP I always thought it was 50's but most of the ones I've seen up for sale etc had 55's.
