Jubilee Surprise
I was visiting a watch-dealer friend today, looking at some watches, and mentioned that I would like to have a Jubilee bracelet for the GMT II that I was wearing. Her father (an elderly Chinese gentleman) then disappeared into a back room and came out with a 20-year-old, fully stickered NOS 62510H bracelet with 502b endlinks, and 50 stamped on the bracelet (which he said indicated that it was meant to be worn on a GMT). It had been sitting in his safe since he bought it in the mid 90s.
I wasn't sure how much something like this was worth, but I'm pretty sure that the $320 he asked was a more than fair price, and I paid up without haggling. Some photos of the new look..... |

I think that's the best look for a GMT
 Nicely done Adam

Sweet !!
What are you going to ask for on the next visit? I was thinking of maybe a NOS 6200 watch head !! Be safe.

The price was more than fair! Great score, Adam. That combo is a stunner. You must be a bass player cause your timing is impeccable.
