Stunning Dalip! Good work mate. Could you post some pics so we can see how the bracelet aligns with the case?

Verry nice. The size of the links and numerals on the bezel complement each other perfectly.

Looks terrific, Dalip.

This Super Jubilee bracelet has ALL solid links and would be strong enough to take the heavy weight of the GMT-IIC watch head.

My only concern would be this: The original spring-bars which come with the Oyster bracelet would be 2 mm in thickness..............whereas the SJ bracelet can ONLY take 1.8 mm spring-bars leaving a small element of doubt about the security of the watch.

Technically what we have here now that the SJ bracelet has been mounted on this watch case, is a 1.8 mm thick spring-bar in place of a 2 mm thick spring-bar.

Just hope this does NOT compromise the security of the watch.

It's off the 2C now JJ...and back on the Pepsi..same issue with the 1.8 vs 2mm....but lighter watch I guess...also the bracelet was easy to click in to the Pepsi but a struggle to squeeze into the 2C....

I'll juts have to be careful when I'm throwing the Javelin......
