Super dumb bracelet question

[j napier]

hi guys.

OK, as a newbie, I am allowed to make a few mistakes and post some dumb questions. You are the experts, not me. I have a vintage oyster perpetual date, circa 1982, ref 15010, all original. I wanted to put on a jubilee bracelet. The problem, the current band is 19mm the jubilee is 20mm. Can I get this to work?

thanks

Jubilee won't fit unless you take a dremel and cut off 0.5 mm on both sides of the endlinks

Jim, yes it will work. You need a SS-Jubilee #62510-H bracelet with #574 end-links(they are 19mm so no grinding needed).

Your absolutely right!

Didn't think about the 62XX option with jubilee.

Also 74 endlinks would fit.

Wow, I remember when I was jumping out of airplanes in '82, I didn't think of myself as "vintage". Wow time flies when it has fun with you. LOL
