GMT Master II oyster bracelet help

Hi to all,

Been searching but can't get a definitive answer. My oyster bracelet for my K series 16710 with lug holes and SEL is a perfect fit on my wrist. Even had a permanent link removed to get it just right. Now I'm wondering whether it can be used on my 116710LN. The perfect fit plus the brushed links are pushing me towards it esp as it not being used for now cos I just got a jubilee bracelet to use on my 16710.

And if it's possible then what tool is the best to use for the 116710 bracelet removal. Thanks in advance!

I think it will swap over.
Have you considered a sub bracelet for your ceramic LN? That’s what I put on mine. So long as you use the original PCL spring bars it fits just fine.

On the bracelet tool, get a Bergeon 7825. I've been through a couple different bracelet tools over the years and am beyond happy with the 7825.

Do you have cut outs in the back of the end links for a spring bar tool?

I see you’ve got a lug holes case

Don't want to buy another bracelet but since I already have the old one thought I'd do it.

Excellent. Did you get from Amazon? EBay?

Hmm. Not sure. Will check when I get home in a few days as I'm overseas at the moment.
