I've been converted to the Jubilee bracelet myself. It definitely adds to the vintage look on the older 1675 GMTs. I now have a Jubilee on my GMT 16750 and wear it daily - it's a very comfortable bracelet and a great look.

I've tried on my DJ jubilee with 55 ends and it doesn't look it belongs. What ends do you have?

Mine wouldn't take the 2mm spring bars that came with my 16750.

Jubilee bracelet end pieces

I'm using the jubilee bracelet off my 1601 oyster. The end pieces are the 555

Timing review after 5 days

I synced the 1675 at 1915 hrs PDT to my iPhone and after 5 days and 2 hours the watch is running -8 seconds.

Not too bad for a 45 year old watch!

Thanks. Did some research and it seems the the ends are #50's for the sport watches. Thanks

Quick time keeping status.

2 weeks 3 hours and 15 minutes...and the watch is running -11seconds.

I would have to say that's darn good!

After 3 weeks and 40 minutes and only off the wrist at night it is currently running -2 seconds.

When it's off the wrist I keep it dial up.

After 2 weeks it was -11 seconds and it has been off the wrist quite a bit more during the past week moving stuff and cleaning stuff...which may account for the gain in time.

In any event it running exceptionally accurately!!

DON'T keep looking at your watch , nice though it is , y'all will run into the car in front ! . That's why I only wear a $ 50 Casio while driving my 10 yr old Peugot Minivan . Nice watch.
