Bracelet Swapping
What two-tone bracelets will fit my GMT II ref 16713 (Root Beer)? I am specifically wondering about TT Daytona?
My Root Beer is a W-serial on a brown strap, which looks fantastic. But now I'm left wondering what could be? I was thinking of using the excuse to buy a different (non-GMT) two-tone watch with bracelet, if the bracelet will fit. I don't want diver-style Sub. So will Daytona work? 4030 or 4130? DateJust? Does it depend on the vintage? I'm guessing solid end link won't work? Help please! My search here and the Internet didn't help. Any referral to another link showing compatibility will be welcome! |

You can use a 62523H-18 (jubilee) or a 78363 (oyster) Both two tone and both correct for your watch.
You can find the bands selling alone on vintage rolex market, you don't have to buy another watch just to get the band.. This is the oyster |

Thanks for the reference numbers for my Root Beer, and the photos. Would the bracelet from a two tone Daytona fit? I'm not trying to avoid buying another watch. I'm using this as a (weak) excuse to buy another!

Just make sure the clasp looks like this.
