Any one has done that before? If so, would someone kind enough to post pics?

I am considering it, thinking the bracelet may be a bit too elegant for the Sub case....

It won't work. The Submariner is different in that it uses bigger lug pins. JJ tried...

I have posted the same question way back. There is a picture of the LV with the jubilee bracelet somewhere in this forum, and I tell you what...It looks great.

I have been waiting for this thread. Ever since Dan exploded his GMT/Super Jubilee combo on the scene, I have been wondering about a Sub/Super Jubilee.

TUDOR SUB; imagine that !

Now wait just a doggone minute! The GMT/ Super Jubilee exploded all by itself.

Hell, but then I'd think a super jubilee would look great on a Rado.

Just joking, JJ!

Seems like I've seen a pic of two of the Sub/ jubilee combo somewhere.

When I had ordered the Super Jubilee 63200 for my Platty (which sadly did not fit), I tried it on my SS Sub too.

No luck as the Sub pins were so damn thick they wouldn't go through the eye of the Jubilee SELs.

yup; aint nothin wrong with that !

I've seen it done multiple times. Recently at the NAWCC show in Pasadena, ca. I came across several. There are Rolex pins one size smaller than those used on Subs. They will fit through the Jubilee bracelet's end pieces. It is how you attach a Jubilee to a GMT II and use 555 end pieces vs. 502.

Using a thinner pin may serve the purpose of securing the watch to the bracelet, but the BIG question is how secure will it be?

If the lug holes are big and the pin is thinner, you would naturally have a pin head that's too small for the larger holes and thus a pin that's kinda "floating" around inside the lug holes.

Not very secure is it?

necessaruly true JJ.

As the pins most important fn is to provide the assy a secure location by seating well within the lug; and as pin "spring-pins" can be found in relatively close to OEM diameter/length, will seat securely (albeit a tad free amount of "play.") Pins that "fill" lug pin points for SuBs are but a fraction smaller in dia (than the next size below the SUBs) and the main bodies can be found in smaller as well. But its the pins spring loaded "point" that penetrates the lug is the most important part of its role. Also, a "holed" case is IMO a more secure environment for spring bars by virtue of the "entire lug" being drilled thru; providing longer "seat points". The main body though BEING smaller in diameter (closer to spring pin dia) also wont affect the primary fn and will likely NEVER be affected by the free additional movement aka ROLEX tin can end links - all too familiar, "bracelt clatter" !

I have seen this configuration worn even by a ROLEX tech at servi-center in BKK and if its good enough for them then there can be no question as to its security IMO.

Thanks,
Randy

I just wore that 1680 like that for a week or so while waiting on a 93150...it felt secure and went on fine.

DSJ · 1 March 2009, 06:10 AM

I stand corrected.

I'm currently using this configuration without any problems. It is very secure IMO. The diameter of the pin that interseccs the case is very close to that of the original Sub pins. There is no play or movment in the end links. So I could conclude that with out movment there would be no wear.
