I've never seen the oval link Jubilee before, was it an official Rolex bracelet?

Lance and @toocustom. Thanks - the bracelet is simply a 62510H "50" + 502T end links. Using BLNR's 2.0 mm spring bars - snug fit. You could go the super jubilee route, but then you need to use DJ (1.8 mm) spring bars.

I fancied the "original GMT Master bracelet" route better.

Stunning Pics!

Has anyone put a super jubilee on a 16710?

My 16710 is fitted with a SJ, as are a few others in this thread.

Yes they are "official Rolex."

My first Rolex, a 1982 TT GMT Master on original jubilee bracelet

Really love the posts & comments everyone!

HogwldFLTR · 1 August 2015, 04:18 AM

Considering a Jubilee for my 16700; they certainly do look refined on the bracelets!!!

Maybe I should blame it on this thread...

I love the feel of a jubilee bracelet.

kbutler971 · 7 August 2015, 10:14 AM

Lots of very nice pictures, so many variations of the common theme.

It's a watch; it keeps time. If you want something to count you need an abacus. (J/K)

On the other hand it's a lovely watch.

Hahaha, thanks pal. Just got it the other day (the 4 in the date window is August 4), and I've been searching for the right one for a long while. I was so happy when it came together

Vinnie, I can well imagine; I really like the Rootbeers. I wanted the Pepsi like nothing else. Now I'm really taken by the Rootbeer; I'm not likely to get one however.

To everyone, I have a general question regarding the Jubilee bracelets; have they always been an option on the GMTs or are they truly a recent add on brought about by WIS fashion trends?

Jubilee bracelets have been an option on GMTs since the 1950s. http://www.gmtmasterhistory.com/

I am coming around on Jubilees. Very nice pics. A month ago, I would have thought never. These look great.

Daytonaman799 · 7 August 2015, 12:09 PM

GMT's are AWESOME on a jubilee!

Danex · 7 August 2015, 12:41 PM

I will never understand why Rolex discontinued the jubilee bracelet option on the GMT line. They look so awesome.

I didn't think I could possibly love my BLNR anymore, but what you've done has now become my grail! Totally new to Rolex and hadn't even heard of the whole jubilee thing but wow I'm totally converted. One question if I may, all I keep reading is the comfort, is the jubilee really that more comfortable over the standard oyster? as the latter is the most comfortable SS I've worn as every other SS bracelet just pinches and tugs at the man hairs
