Jubilee bracelet on Polar EXP II??
Does anyone know what jubilee bracelet would fit on a Polar EXP II, P series (lug holes)?
I'm thinking to make a switch, but only if it would be a perfect fit. |

GMT Master II is what you should looking for.

Do you mean the Jubilee bracelet originally outfitted for the GMT II? Because it sounds like he already has the Exp. II, and if he wants a white face only the extremely rare, highly-prized Pan Am GMT I would fit the bill.
To the OP: good choice, I've seen a picture of this and thought it worked very, very well. |

In my case, it's a 62510H with 555 end pieces, which I think are made for DJs - not ideal for EXP IIs - but the fit is snug and it looks just fine to me.

As Jocke implied, I think..
The case for the Exp II and the GMT II are identical, and so any bracelet made for the GMT II will fit the Exp II... For the Jubilee, that would mean the 62510H with 502 endlinks. The Super Jubilee was never fitted to the GMT or the Exp II and so the fit would not be exact... but it will still fit..

JJ fitted a Super Jubilee on his EXPII - can't remember which end links were used. It was a very closed fit from memory.

You do have to use the smaller 1.8mm springbars from the DJ too as the 2mm springbars used in Exp II's will not fit. I wouldn't recommend a Super Jubilee for the GMT or Exp II with lug holes.. the holes are much larger in diameter than the non-through hole lugs and so the spring-bars will sort of rattle around in the larger hole and not extend properly into the lugs.......

Fitting the Super Jubilee to a GMT or Exp II leaves a gap that would bother me enough not to do it, especially when you consider the $1,375 price tag of the bracelet.

Good info guys. SO, a Jubilee bracelet from a GMT II would fit the EXP II?
That includes the end links from the GMT II also? Thanks.. I think the Jubilee looks cool. I have a Sub Date and it has the oyster, so Im trying to get a different look for my EXP II. |

Yes, the GMT II Jubilee bracelet fits perfectly on an Explorer II. Here is the one that my wife wears, it has the original 502b endlinks from my "E" GMT II.
I hope this helps in your decision, sorry for the crappy photo's...it was late. Glenn |
