Spring bar dimensions needed please

Hi,
In an attempt to find the ideal spring bars to fit a 63200 Jubilee bracelet to my Z serial GMT 11 I have worked out that I need the width of the 63200 bracelet bars and the length of the GMT 11 bars.
Please could any one help with the different dimensions so that I can give Rolex UK a ring next week?
Thank you for your help,

Peter

Standard lug width of most Rolex models is 20 mm as is the GMT-II!!

Since yours is a Z-series, it will definitely be WITHOUT lug holes.....so you will need spring-bars with ridges designed for such cases.

Explain that to your AD - he should understand.

Good luck - JJ

Thank you JJ, but I have been in contact with Zak98 who has just fitted the Super Jubilee to his GMT M series.
He said that the best width of spring bars to hold the Super Jubilee were the bars supplied with the new bracelet but he did have difficulty installing them in the GMT. They were longer before being compressed than the original GMT spring bars and so I suppose he might have had to compress them with more force to get them in the gap between the lugs.
That is why I was looking for the width of the Super Jubilee but the original length of the GMT.
Any one got this sort of data to hand??
Thank you very much,
Peter
