1500 Jubilee band clasp?

Hi all,

I could use a bit of help here. I know a lot of guys swapped out the Oyster bracelet on 1500's for a Jubilee band. Can any of you show me what the proper clasp looks like for a Jubilee band that would have been on a 1500 case? If I'm not mistaken it would be a 19mm band but I don't know what the proper clasp would be.

Then the follow up is do you know where I can buy one?

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Depending on the date, the jubilee reference you're looking for is 62510 or 6251 folded link. The end links are 574 and 74 respectively. You'll notice the 62510 and 6215 are used with 20mm and 19mm end links.

Thanks for the reply.
Any idea on the appropriate dates you've referenced?

6251s lasted to the mid-late 70s depending on the models. I believe 1976 is when the 62510h came into being

Well looks like I wasted a bunch of time and money on this one no thanks to all of you guys.
You all kept posting pictures of 15xx's and 16xx's with croc straps on them and they were so nice looking I ordered one! Put the jubilee and clasp in the drawer.
Pics to follow soon.
