Firstborn for a Jubilee?
Well, I finally got tired of looking for a Jubilee for my 16710 and talked to an AD. I had fun perusing the price list with him. Anyway, he said a SuperJubilee wouldn't fit quite right, that the endpieces were a little short and we looked at one on another watch and he is probably right. Doesn't matter because I wasn't going to pay $1350 anyway. But $575 for a regular Jubilee was OK with me and I told him to order it. He called me back a few minutes later and said he called to order and everything was fine with the order until they asked which endpieces and when he said 502B, they told him to send the watch in. He had not told them the model of watch that he needed it for--apparently if you want 502B, they know what you are going to do with it. I think I will ride to my favorite watchmakers shop this evening, he can get parts from Rolex and talk it over with him. He has told me that he knows he can't get the endpieces from Rolex, only aftermarket, but maybe he has a suggestion. What I need is a friend in Europe if you guys can get parts with no questions asked!! If I had known this I would have had Beef's friend pick one up for me.

Judging from these pics posted by "Ny00768", apparantly the new style Jubilee bracelet does fit the GMT II 16710:
