Tudor Band Interchangability Question

Question for the Tudor guys - is the Tudor chrono jubilee band interchangable with the Tudor GMT? Thanks

Yes. My BB GMT sports the 5-Link w/ T-Fit clasp from the smooth bezel Black Bay. So the links are flat on the bottom surface facing the wrist.

The oval link 5-Link found on the chronographs looks great & has a cool retro vibe.

Also, Like the Rolex jubilee, the Tudor 5-Link comes with/ spring bars that are slightly smaller diameter than the Oyster or rivet spring bars.

As Dan stated, the answer is yes. However, the Chrono 5 link bracelets may not be available yet to order. You may have to order the BB 5 link bracelet instead. See the link below for a thread of mine with all the pertinent information.

Good question! Unfortunately, the Tudor Chrono’s Jubilee bracelet is not directly interchangeable with the Tudor GMT. While both watches may have similar lug widths, Tudor designs each bracelet specifically for its model in terms of fit and curvature, so they don’t typically swap seamlessly. However, some aftermarket options or a skilled watchmaker might make it possible, but it’s not guaranteed to look or fit perfectly.

Thanks for all the info. Going to try and order one, how long did you have to wait to get it?

Simply not true. See the link below where I and many others have installed an OEM Tudor 5 link (jubilee) on both a GMT and Chrono.

And confirming that the BB 5 link bracelet w/ T-Fit that works for the GMT and Chrono also, not surprisingly, works on the Harrods BB.

Your statement seems to be at odds with several of our members who have done so successfully. Where did you get your information?
