Yes, guys, it is impossible to source an oyster 78400 with 605 end links or it is crazy priced, so where can I get an aftermarket bracelet which will fit the 79280 case?

Tungchoy doesn`t have it in stock anymore...

Thank you in advance for your time.

You should be able to buy an used OEM one on the forums or Ebay. Probably a Rolex regular oyster would work if you get the 605 end links for it.

The links are hard to source mate :(

You could try directly with a Rolex Service Center for the full bracelet, but won’t be cheap. Other option is to buy another Tudor Chrono on that bracelet and then re-sell it on a leather band, might be acheaper than paying for a full new band

Seen cheap ones on ebay. Try searching 79260 and 79270 as well.

Got mine on eBay, you should be able to find it if you search for 79270.

Also been looking for the 78400 but can’t find it. If anyone has a good source for one, let me know!

There's one on Ebay, but pretty expensive

Saw it. Couldn’t find it before but I think it was being filtered to a certain category. Quite expensive indeed.

The search goes on!

It has a best offer option, so make an offer! I bought my Tudor 79270 jubilee style bracelet brand new on Ebay: the seller was asking a price thought was really high, put an agresive offer and he accepte it !

Can you post more pics of your Tudor with the Jubilee bracelet, please?
Many thanks.

Seller`s photo. Price is decent. What do you think?

dricig · 19 August 2018, 08:28 AM

Nice but prefer the oyster on the 79xxx series.

Don’t have pictures of mine handy. My jubilee is the latest version which has a double closing clasp. That one looks good !

I’ve had both the single and double clasp on different watches, and I like the single clasp more.

This one just seems to have the same pattern as my double clasp where the whole center is polished. My single clasp looks like this with alternating brushed and polished.

Yes, the latest version (double clasp, reference 62590) comes from factory with all 3 center links polished:

While the older (single clasp, reference 62490) bracelet has a brushed center link:
