Moral Dilemma

I purchased a really nice Jubilee #62510H "50" with 502B end links (from fellow TRFer Mattedialdoc ) with the intention of giving it to my Dad to put on his Pepsi 16750. But when it was delivered to my house I tried it out myself and I really like this look!

It looks ok on the explorer II. Kind of the wrong look for that watch IMO. I think it would look much nicer on the Pepsi. That's where it belongs.

Your father has provided for you, picked you up when you fell and taught you how to be a man. If he can do all that then surely he can get his own jubilee bracelet.

Seriously though, I'm positive your dad will love how his GMT looks with the jubilee.

Not a bad look, but it'll look so much better on your Dad's watch plus you'll sleep better.

Haha! Indeed, I think he will. It will definitely be going to him!

Give pops the Jubi - get one for yourself later if you want (really looks a little out of place on the EII)

You'll find another jubilee. But one dad is all you'll get.
Do the right thing.

I believe they were often sold on Jubilee. I prefer Oyster on 1655.
Your old man deserves it.

Looks fantastic! Jubilee must be only on a GMT, IMHO (or DJ).
