Yacht-Master 40 on a jubilee bracelet, need some help.

Guy I saw a picture of this Yacht-Master 40 ref. 126622 on a jubilee and I fell in love with it.
Anyone knows if there is any way of actually doing it and fitting jubilee on that watch?
Thanks in advance.

If I could switch the 126622 bracelet with the BLNR jubilee, that would be a good reason for me to pull the trigger on the YM... I think that looks great.

Yes as Lee pointed out I have put my 65210H Jubilee bracelet on my 16622 Yachtmaster (case of the 16622 / 116622 / 126622 are the same in terms of the bracelet), some pictures below:







I read the superjubilee bracelets 63200 / 63600 would also fit as well.

I totally agree. The jubilee on most watches, besides the sub, looks really nice!

There are two versions of the SJ originally designed for the 36mm DJ. The 63200 and the later 63600. The latter as pictured has two more removable links which makes for an easier adjustment on smaller wrists.

No micro adjustment on the clasp (like the President bracelet) but there are 1 ¼ links available for an optimized fit. I have one installed.

Though designed for a 36mm it fits my 40mm YM perfectly.
I heard people say that when using a 5 or 6 digit Sub or GMT with this bracelet there is a minuscule gap obscured by the bezel so not really visible.
Never tried myself so just hear say.

The SJ appears thin so it will work better on any 5 digit compared to the blockier 6 digit.

I was just wondering if anyone else had tried this. I'm super keen. So the SJ will give a tight and seamless fit? I think this would look great on my Slate YM.

What would the cost of a suitable bracelet be, roughly? Methinks my NZ based AD might not allow me to buy. Although my GF did buy a 36mm DJ last year so if her jubilee fits I'd have an angle there i.e. seek a replacement for her bracelet?

So 63600 is the one?

If you can source one from RSC probably like $1200-1500, on the used market they are over $2000 right now.

Sorry to hijack -
When you guys say there is no micro adjustment on the President or Super jubilee I get that there is no Glidelock or Easylink. But can you still push the pin from one hole to the next to loosen / tighten? Or is there no such mechanism on the hidden clasp?

It looks good on the YM

The only means of adjusting the super jubilee is by removing a full link. It does not have tiny holes (like a 5-digit jubilee bracelet with the stamped clasp) and spring bar to get that "just right fit". The super jubilee looks great, but that's big drawback of it and why I think the current jubilee bracelet (bracelet ref 62800) w/ the exposed claps is a more practical option since it has the micro adjust.

And that'd be a seamless fit on a YM?

63600 is great on a Daytona too. Just sayin’ (and sharing a pic
