Have seen a lot of pic's overhere showing BLNR's on jubilee straps which i really like.
For this jubilee there are two options, the"old" style jubilee with normal clasp and hollow links or the "new" superjubilee with hidden clasp and solid links.

Which is the best choice?

Consensus from my reading of many posts on this subject is that the 62510 "old style" braclet with proper 502T endlinks will have the best fit to the watch as they are made to match the 40mm case. The super jubilee is made for a 36mm datejust and the SELs will not sit completely flush against the case. I've not seen one in person so cannot comment on how noticable that is. In the end it seems most people care more about the solid vs hollow links and/or the "old" visible vs new hidden clasp. To that end they probably both work OK, but ultimately it should come down to your personal preference with those factors in mind.

I personally just sourced a brand new OEM "old style" jubilee braclet (the 62510) to rotate between my 16710 and my new 116710BLNR. I wanted the fit to be right and also prefer the look of the visible clasp on these sports watches. Since the braclet is brand new I shouldn't have any issues with stretch. I can't tell you how it fits/looks just yet as it's literally in the mail in its way to me as I write this!

Good luck in your search for the right braclet to fit your needs/tastes.
