Would the SubC glidelock bracelet fit the TT CHNR ?

Does anyone know whether the SubC glidelock bracelet would fit the 126711CHNR ?

Has anyone tried this ?

I really would love to change the bracelet as the glidelock is so much useful and also it ensures less attention towards the GMT.

Many Thanks !

It should do. I’ve got both and have a sub c bracelet on my LN but haven’t tried it on the CHNR yet, but the case of the CHNR and LN are identical.

The case of the LN is different than the case of the CHNR

I don’t believe it is. It’s the same as the outgoing BLNR and LN.

The newer SS BLRO and BLNR on jubilee have the slightly revised case lugs.

No, the CHNR and BLRO cases are 100% identical. The CHNR also uses the same 1.5mm springbars as the BLRO. All 12671x cases have identical measurements, springbar pivot hole locations and springbar dimensions.

The "revised case lug" statement has confused everyone into thinking the lugs changed shape. They didn't. But, everyone keeps parroting this line.

Ok, I stand corrected. Thanks. I will try my sub bracelet on the CHNR when I can find the time. I seem to think it will fit because a sub bracelet has already been fitted to a SS BLRO successfully.

Sure thing. When you remove your CHNR bracelet you can compare the insides of the lugs and the endlinks on each bracelet. A lot has changed but the overall shapes stayed the same. The CHNR bracelet won't fit the old LN/BLNR due to hole locations. And, the old bracelets fit but only because the bars and pivots fit eccentrically in the holes. I wish it were more like Legos.
