I just bought this Tudor 62490 bracelet and can't decide if I like it? I think it was meant for the Tigers but fits nicely on my big block as well. Maybe it will grow on me.

Any opinions?

The end links look just a bit wonky but I think that it looks great!

Looks good, but would love to see a profile picture to see the endlink fitment.

Big Blocks always did have super thick lugs. I love the Tudor jubilee but I think it fits the Tiger era cases a bit better.
Having said that, wear it for a while, bet it grows on you. Here's mine for a comparison.

The end links are not a perfect fit and can not be adjusted as they are solid. With that said I need to get proper Tudor spring bars which I think will help tighten them up. The standard Rolex ones will not work as they are too thick.

Here is a profile picture.

They definitely are a bit short on those thick lugs.

I love your Tiger model and color combo as you already know. Just an awesome look!

Not perfect... But not bad at all!

Mine Big 94200 comes originally with Rolex 78360 band and 588 endlinks , As Dan said about Jubilee " I think it fits the Tiger era cases a bit better "

Cheers !

Looks great, Justin!

BTW it's a Prince bracelet, not a Jubilee. ;)

Not to derail the thread, but I believe Tudor only made a 2-tone Jubilee. If the three small links in the middle are equal width, that's a Jubilee. If the middle link is slightly larger than the two surrounding it (like Dan's and Justin's), it's a Prince bracelet.

Nice one!

I also have a 78360 which is the correct band. I just wanted to try something different.

Thanks for the info as I was not aware they were called something different. Do you know if they were offered on models other than the Tiger?

I have one on my (wife's) midsize Sub from around 1997, and I believe they came on some of the later Mini Subs. I'm not sure what else they came on. I love the design though, I think they look great! The polishing of the second and fourth links gives it some nice depth.

What's the proper endlink ref for jubilee?
