New jubilee on vintage Datejust
Hello, everyone. I've been looking at the threads for sometime now, but just happened to join recently after getting my hands on a vintage Datejust. Now I had a question regarding the bracelet. The Datejust I own (the 16030) has the original jubilee bracelet, but I wanted to replace it with the new jubilee bracelet with the solid endlinks and a hidden clasp. Would the new jubilee bracelet fit on my vintage Datejust or is there some difference between the old and the new datejusts?
Thanks!~ |

Really? It won't fit?
Are the lug holes placed differently from a GMT 16700 or 16710? (for those quite vintage models, the super jubilee fits. Only requiring 1,8mm spring bars which can be easily found). Is-it because of a difference in height of the case/lugs? Would you please further explain, please? Because I may one day buy a 4 or 5 digit datejust, in remembrance of the one I bought new in 1980 and which I sold 10 years after (with its genuine jubilee and a supplementary oyster band). |

There are plenty of period correct OEM jubilee bracelets always for sale for both 1601 and 1603. Just look around. |
