I wanna swap my jubilee bracelet of for one like this http://m.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Rolex-...682?nav=SEARCH on my gmt 16750. should work fine right thanks in advance.

mtgjr · 9 September 2016, 11:49 AM

Wrong endlinks, I would think.

fskywalker · 9 September 2016, 11:53 AM

Ask seller to confirm the specific model of the end links in that Oyster bracelet; it may or may not work

Do you know which ones I am looking for?

mtgjr · 9 September 2016, 09:44 PM

Not SEL, which the pictured bracelet has.

30more · 10 September 2016, 11:59 AM

End links are 801. Will they work?

mtgjr · 10 September 2016, 12:10 PM

801 are solid endlinks so no, I don't think they will work with a 16750 case with lug holes. Please get confirmation from someone who is more knowledgeable than me, but I think that's right. I think you need the 78790 (without the A) with 502B endlinks. Again, double check that.

There are some members here who are like encyclopedias of this kind of info. Hopefully, they will see this thread and chime in.

30more · 10 September 2016, 01:19 PM

thanks I'll hold off on getting it

yukosaturno · 10 September 2016, 02:00 PM

that won't work,like someone said up here..

what you want to look for is a bracelet with the hollow endlinks and the old clasp,since your watch is a 16750.

if you see any bracelet with this clasp,the chances are it probably won't work on your watch,those came in the most recent 16700 gmt master and 16710 gmt 2.

ps-if it has the submariner clasp it's also wrong,those came with the 16760 fat lady coke gmt 2

what you're looking for is 78360 clasp and 580 endlinks,but don't quote me on that

rollee1 · 10 September 2016, 02:17 PM

78790A will work, ensure the end pieces has 50 stamped on it, and you have to have 502B end links because of lug holes.
2mm smooth spring bars.

Tools · 10 September 2016, 03:11 PM

78790A is the SEL model. He needs the 78790.

GMT's were available with the Sub style Oyster bracelet too.

tomallen · 10 September 2016, 08:06 PM

The GMT 16710 came with a Submariner bracelet if desired. The idea was to fit over a flight suit and gloves.

30more · 10 September 2016, 09:46 PM

It looks like it's missing two removable links.

30more · 10 September 2016, 11:51 PM

If i got this right a 78790 will work as long as it has 502B end links with 50 on the next to last link? correct? just want to know for sure before the hunt begins! Thanks

Nope.

78790 is an Oyster bracelet, and proper for a GMT or Exp II with 501 end links - they are all 2mm tubes so never have a 50 stamp.

502 endlinks are Jubilee endlinks, and proper for the GMT with a 62510H Jubilee w/50 stamps (2.mm tubes)

configsys · 12 September 2016, 04:17 AM

An early 80s GMT 16750 I owned had a 78360 bracelet w/ 580 end links. If you want to keep it vintage (era) correct, I would go with that.

P.S. someone is selling a 16750 on the FS section and has pics of it.

30more · 12 September 2016, 07:52 AM

I actually have a oyster bracelet 78360 with 580 end links. I just preferred a locking clasp. But guessing that's a no

cjohns · 12 September 2016, 07:58 AM

I think a 78790 Oyster Lock clasp will fit onto a 78360 bracelet,, could be wrong but I bet it will.

You just need to change your clasp.. Almost any locking clasp from another Oyster bracelet will bolt on, a 78790 or 93150 was offered on GMT's and those clasps will interchange as well as the bracelets. You can even use your 580 ends.

30more · 12 September 2016, 11:34 AM

thanks for that information I'll keep an eye out on those two clasp.

30more · 15 September 2016, 09:03 AM

Wandering what you guys think about this http://m.ebay.com/itm/ROLEX-SUBMARIN...968?nav=SEARCH It's still from the eighties and it seems like a decent price. But i'm kind of fresh to the rolex scene. Gonna try to fit one on the original oyster bracelet that come with my 16750. Also can one tell me what screwdrivers and bracelet remover are best to use when removing links and bracelet?

Speed · 15 September 2016, 10:57 AM

Looks beat up. It's for a Sub. I'd pass.

30more · 16 September 2016, 04:51 AM

I need a band remover and screwdriver set. To work on my Bracelet and clasp. Any good suggestions? Thanks

30more · 7 October 2016, 02:40 AM

Thanks for the advice and help all. I got the final piece from Springer! Now if I could just find a faded Pepsi insert...
