Submariner band

Hello Everyone -

First time post for me..I recently purchased a sub non date W serial #..
I wanted to put my SEL bracelet from My EXP II P serial # on the sub but am having a tough time getting it on..Are the cases on the watch different??? The band seems to fit on my older GMT II but not on the sub...Any info..

The SEL will only fit watches designed to have the SEL endlink bracelets. They wiil not fit non SEL watches like the Sub non date.

I put a SEL bracelet from a 16610 on my 14060M back when I had both a few months ago. It fit just fine.

You might need to use a smaller spring pin to be able to move it to where the pin-hole is drilled as they are not in the identical locations on all models.

Sometimes you need to stick a small screwdriver into the channel in the back of the SEL and push the pin around until it finds the holes..

Just got back from my watch guy in Chicago..He told me the non date sub will not support the SEL..It works fine on the GMT and EXP but not on non date subs..The curve on the end of the SEL are not wide enough for the case..The structure of the case on the non date lugs are different from the date subs...
