Which Jubilee bracelet for my 16710?

I own Pepsi 16710 and now thinking of adding a Jubilee bracelet. What is the model number or version I need to source assuming there are various kinds of Jubilee bracelets? My 16710 is from 2006.

Thanks.

The correct jubilee bracelet for a 16710 is model number 62510H. This is the bracelet that was an option for this watch until the early 2000's. The end links are different depending on if your watch has lug holes or not. The proper end links for a lug hole watch are 502B or 502T. The non lug hole versions are 550. (apologies can't see the picture as I'm at work - and they block everything, except TRF lol) - response cited from below posts

You can also use either the 63200 or 63600 (Super Jubilee bracelet with hidden clasp) but will require the 1.8mm spring-bars (that are used on the DJ36 models)

For ‘no lugholes’ watch you need 502T endlinks. (Fits lugholes cases as well)
16710 looks great on a jubilee!

For 'no lugholes' which is the correct (Rolex recommended) end link?
There seems to be some difference of opinion.

Go for a 63600 if you can - love the hidden clasp/full bracelet look.

Can an AD source me the bracelet? Or my option is only trusted dealer?

This is good to know, thank you for sharing your personal opinion. I think the Jubilee will dress up the Pepsi a bit more and give me an excellent suit option.

Prefer the original bracelet: 62510H "50". Easier to adjust via the clasp, and original to the 16710 case, makes it a no brainer for me.

How hard is it to swap the bracelet on a no lug hole 16710? Or, do you have someone do it for you?

Sorry to thread hijack....but if I wanted to change the bracelet on my 2006 16710T Coke bezel to the more modern GMT bracelet with the polished center links (and the better clasp)....what is the part number....and will it fit? I think the lugs and case is a bit larger on the more recent GMT's. I don't know as I only have the older 16710. Thanks!

Here is mine:

Interesting to see the increase in the 5 digit pepsi on jubilee after the new BLRO release.

With the right springbar tools and a little practice, takes less than a minute.

Thanks. Which tools do you use? I seem to recall the Rolex tool not being cheap and difficult to obtain, and also remember something about having to grind down the Otto Frei tool? Do you tape it up when you do the swap?

No tape needed after a little practice. But until you feel comfortable with the process maybe tape the lugs as insurance.

Some people like the Bergeon 7825 Spring Bar Tweezers.



Pricey, but a single step process for each end of bracelet.

Otherwise you can use the Bergeon 7767-F Tool with 1.2mm fork.



It’s versatile since it works on watches with lugholes as well as those without. Cheaper, but more work for you.

So I own a 16710 Z-Series 2007 Pepsi GMT-II. I'm considering modding/upgrading it to a Jubilee bracelet.

The case does not have lug holes.

What parts do I need to find?

I *think* I need 502T endlinks together with 62510H bracelet with the '50' stamp.

The 62510H bracelet should be 20mm, right? Or do they vary?

Is the '50' stamp important? Will there be some slop if the bracelet is not a '50'?

What parts would be needed for the more modern Super Jubilee? Is the super more comfortable?

THANKS!

For those in the "know" it does look messed around with by adding the super jubilee. Original jubilee looks more... original.

BUT... that modernised jubilee combo looks really cool, sleek, and understated.

Much better than the new bulky carbuncle...

How would this look with a TT bracelet?

Has anyone a photo? Keep the SS case, but but a TT super jubilee on it.
Don't shoot me!!

Those bracelets/end links are not easy to get :) not the jubilee or the super jubilee.

a question,

is the 63600 from a DJ36 or DJ41? Or any other?

I understand i'd need 1.8mm spring bars, but i'd like to know which watch does the 63600 go with.

Thank you!

The 20mm bracelets that go on a GMT are from the DJ36. The DJ41 has 21mm lugs so the bracelet doesn't fit.

Thank you! It looks gorgeous!

I just saw one was sold today, but it had wrong endlinks anyway.
They are honestly hard to get nowadays.

I'm in no rush and I'll keep an eye on them.

The jubilee bracelet is meant for Gmt and you won’t regret. I love the look very much. Hope you find one soon
