Disk Date & Bracelet for 16753

Dear All,
Please could you advise on the default date disk for a GMT 16753 Tiger Eye of 1984 - which is the right color between champagne and steel?
In addition, please let me know if the bracelet jubilee 62523H with terminals 455 is appropriate/original for this GMT?
Sorry in case this topic has been addressed before.
Thanks for your insight!

Welcome to the Forum!

Date disc for a two tone should be Champagne in the case of the 16753.

Yes, for a "jubilee" 62523 w/ 455 ELs is also appropriate. You may see the designation on the bracelet reference as 62523H 18 (for 18k).

Many thanks!

I was referring specifically to the GMT in relation to the jubilee.

450 J end links with a 50 on the last link before the end link on the 62523 H jubilee bracelet I believe is correct for a GMT. Date wheel is brushed champaign, but I do think this changed to a white date wheel later in production, perhaps right around 1984. The 455 end links will fit but are for a Datejust from my understanding. For the definitive answer, hopefully Springer will comment.

You are correct about the bracelet and end links. I'm not familiar with a change to white date discs around 1984. The early 1980s date disc was champagne in color as you mentioned.

A quick image search on google for the 16713 indicates that every one of the later 16713 models that I looked at had champagne date discs.
