Superjubilee braclet for Sub date 2015

[Browner]

Guys, my Rolex dealer says then can not supply me with a Jubilee bracelet for my 2015 Sub date watch. Any idea who can supply one and what the appros cost would be?

Rolex will not supply any part thats not original to that reference watch its that simple.And even if you could source one it would be expensive back 2010 they were $1350 expect $1,450 now or more, nothing wrong with the oyster you have it on now.

Peter is correct (as usual).

Rolex bracelet's are crazily expensive, especially PM ones.

The Sub's bracelet is a thing of beauty. One of the watches best features.

Time to treat yourself to a DJ.

I'm trying to recall any SS SEL Jubilee that would fit correctly.


The cheapest route to source one is to buy a SS DJ with a Jubilee and then sell the head on a strap. You'll be out $800-1000 after you're done.
Next best way is a wtb in TRF Classifieds...

(Edit - there was one recently sold in January for a GMT - pricey

I've seen a member on here who was a Jubilee bracelet on his BLNR so it must be possible???

[locutus49]

It would not look good.

Yep it's possible - that link I shared was to a Super Jubilee that could fit. I think the Sub lugs and the GMT lugs are drilled in same positions.

I'd just keep it on the Oyster. I find the Jubilee is too dressy a bracelet for as sporty of a watch as a Sub is.

I read more than once around here that the glide lock bracelet would fit on a GMT but the GMT's PCL oyster bracelet wouldn't fit on a sub.

Any truth to that?

Chaps

Subs look fantastic on a Jubilee, just do a google search and you will see pics by the thousand.

You can always keep the Oyster tucked away for safe keeping if you are worried about devaluing it in the event of moving it on.

I keep thinking about doing it for my recently aquired 16520.

I'm thinking it would depend on the Sub's age/gen. What usually happens is the spacing tween the case edge and the springbar holes in the lug varies slightly - but just enough that some endlinks won't allow proper fit.

From time to time the SJ is for sale on TRF

[Speed]

Not a great match IMO.

[jinikari01]

I googled and its not so bad. NOT MY PICS.

Someone on TRF even replaced GMT II LN C with a superjubilee, it looks ok.

[Ronin78]

A Jubilee on a Submariner??????? BLASPHEMY!!!!!!!

Ive seen a few Subs with Jubilee bracelets and it does look good. Very different for sure.

I think the gMt looks good not so sure about the sub

I think it looks good, reminds me of a Tag.

I say go for it. It's not like you need to get rid of the original bracelet and the jubilee would be easy to sell even in used condition.

Here's the Tag:

The model numbers you need to look for are 63200 or 63600 (same bracelet, difference is 63600 have more removable links, so better suited for smaller wrists). It is very hard to source by itself, probably as suggested above best bet is to buy a Datejust with the band and resell the head.

rolex made the best bracelet ever along with the best clasp ever for a submariner and this is what it gets.

[G-Web]

62510 will definitely fit, and I think 63200/63600 will fit as well.
I tried it on a 114060, but 116710 aside, I feel it works better on 5 digit models.
Still, I say go for it.

Cheers,

A DJ super Jubilee is not a smart move on a ceramic Sub.

The Subs have unique, large, pivot holes in the lugs. To use the Super Jubilee on a Sub you need to use the DJ spring-bars and they will be a very sloppy fit in the Sub lugs, eventually rounding out the holes and permanently damaging them.

Expect to pay 2K for one if you can find it. Last few I seen went for slightly over that amount. Dan's was priced way below what there going for!

Well there you have it.

I was just going to say it's not for me.
