Calling on SPACE DWELLER to confirm Bracelet!

I have posted pictures of this ROLEX in an earlier thread.

This is TT GMT Master model ref 16753 with serial no. #601xxxx indicating 1980 production. The TT Oyster bracelet that came with it has the following data, endlink ref 80 and bracelet ref 78363. The clasp shows G at the top, STERLING in the middle and bottom is 78363-?4. Is the bracelet consistent with production year?

Considering a TT Jubilee on this. Would anybody have the TT Jubilee ref nos. for this model?

Thanks.....in advance.

The bracelet 78363 (12 links) has endpieces 480 (not 80) and would be correct for the 16753.

The "G" is the clasp (date) code, but it indicates that the clasp is made later than the watch since "G" is the code for 1982. So the clasp must have been exchanged later on. Not sure what to think of the "sterling", though.

Thanks, SPACE-DWELLER, yes the endpiece ref is 480. I'm sorry...it is not sterling but "STEELINOX". And it has 12 links.

Steelinox is also what it should say. So that's good.

I forgot all about the Jubilee bracelet. I think you should go for a ref. # 62523 with endlinks type 450.

You can try finding a TT Jubilee bracelet on either classicwatchparts.com or on vintagewatchparts.net/shop. As new (not made anymore.) they were about 4,5 K, btw.
The new Jubilee bracelets with SEL's and solid centre links would not fit, I believe.
