I've read posts about TRFers who have both the Oyster and Jubilee bracelets. I've enjoyed being able to swap bands on my Panerai and it got me thinking.

How do you acquire an extra bracelet?
Can you buy one separately or do you get one with a watch?
Which watches work the best for swapping bracelets? I've seen Jubilees on DateJusts and GMTs but not on Subs (somehow just seems wrong) or Explorers.

Here on the for sale section.

62510H jubilee with 502T or B end links and 63200 superjubilee.

You can find almost anything on jubilee on TRF. Datejusts and GMTs are the most common. But there are also Subs (1680, 16610LV), Explorers I and II, GMT-Cs and even Daytona. Look for posts from Dan Pierce, Javierleon, acce1999, Passionata, KyleL, Dalip, puffy to name a few.

My LV on 62510

Bands on a Rolex can always be swapped, the only thing is you need the correct size endlink depending on what model it is. For example if its a DJ you need a 20mm endlink. A SS band can be found on ebay or TRF.

I paid $700 for a "like new" jubilee here on TRF

I put it on my GMT Master II with a coke bezel.

It's easier to swap bracelets on an older watch with lug holes

I hadn't thought of that. If it's an older bracelet (designed for lug hole cases) can it be put on a newer (no lug hole) case?

Way out of my league

Just guessing, I would say it's more of an end link issue, but someone else will chime in...
