Keep in mind that the "proper" Jubilee bracelet -- the one that was factory-designed for the GMT-Master 16750 -- is the 62510H with #550 end links (that take 2mm spring bars) and the number "50" stamped into the underside of the very last D-link (on both 6 and 12 o'clock sides) to which each end link is directly connected via the springbar.

A Jubilee bracelet with that "proper" configuration is extremely rare to come across (if you're looking for one). When such a bracelet does show up on the forums, it will generally list and sell for several thousands of dollars.

If your GMT-Master 16750, or one you're considering purchasing, has a Jubilee bracelet without that "62510H/50/550" numeric designation, it will have been made for (or will have been removed from) a "Datejust", typically with #555 end links. (The #555 end links use 1.8mm spring bars and are designed for the intra-lug arc of a Datejust's 36mm case, not for the arc of the larger GMT-Master's case).
