Super jubilee bracelet questions

Will it fit a 16700, will it need a certain end link and is much better than the earlier version?

Thanks

John

Not sure if it will fit the 16700, sorry. The end links are perminately attached to the bracelet but will require 1.8mm spring bars. Is it better than the classic? Both have the extra comfy feel when worn but the super jubilee adds a bit more heft and thus more substantial.

Can't help OP unfortunately, but that's a gorgeous GMT!

The Super Jubilee will fit on the 16700 if you have a case with the machined ledge between the lugs that locate SEL bracelets..



No ledge, no fit.. Even with the SEL ledge, the Super Jubilee is still a slight mismatch that you should be aware of so you are not disappointed.. It is made for the 36mm case Datejust, so there is a very slight gap against the case, and as Dan points out, you need to use DJ springbars. They may not fit as good in the through-hole case as original spring-bars. Most people who use this bracelet do not find these slight issues a problem..

Great PICs and fabulous explanation Larry.

It does make a great combo with the 16710.
