Best Jubilee Endlinks For 5513

[watchguy1234]

Hi friends. I'm interested in purchasing a Jubilee bracelet that I can fit on a 5513. I've seen conflicting information online as to which end-links are the best fit. Can anyone who actually has this setup chime in on what works for them? Thanks.

You aren’t asking the right question. What’s the bracelet? There’s several types of jubilee bracelets.

I'm not picky on the specific bracelet. The end links seem to be the limiting factor so as long as I can find the right end-links, I don't mind what type of jubilee bracelet they pair with. It doesn't have to be period correct.

You want the GMT Jubilee 62510. The last link on each side is stamped 50 on the right side of the link.

End links should be 550. These end links will utilize the correct 2mm spring bars that are on your watch now.

If you choose the non GMT Jubilee bracelet, such as found on a Datejust, the last link on each side is not stamped 50. The spring bars for this bracelet have a 1.8mm width and the pins at the end of the spring bars are a little smaller than the hole in the lugs that accepts the spring bars on a 5513. There are several different end links available for the NON GMT Jubilees.

This should work on any of the 5513s.

Now, I know what you are thinking...why can't I use a non GMT Jubilee on a 5513. Because, the Jubilees have two rings at the end of each bracelet that goes through the springbars. These rings accept 2mm spring bars for the GMT bracelet and the non GMT Jubilee have end rings that accept 1.8mm spring bars.

Here is a thread I put together a while back on the Jubilee bracelets which explains everything in more detail.
