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

[MHB]

I bet it would look amazing on a Rhodium dial YM

[faimag]

The hollow jubilee 62510/stamped 50 with 502 T (B for cases with drilled lug holes) endlinks, and the solid super jubilee 63200/63600 fit all 5 digit GMTs and Subs and the 5/6 digits YM and Daytonas.

Guys, many apologies for revisiting this. I'd like to check some details as I'm a bit sh1t with reference numbers. I have the slate YM 126622 and my girlfriend has a purple 36mm DJ ref 126234, does her DJ have the correct Jubilee to fit my YM?

How do you know what ref a given bracelet is?

The 126234 DJ has 20mm lug size like the older 116234 / 16234 Datejusts, but not sure if the fitment of the endlinks is the same as the one found on the 63200 / 63600 super jubilee bands. Just try it and let us know!

How about a black ceramic bezel on that Yacht Master? Photo repost

That’s beautiful

Hi,

I have the SJ 63600 and the YM 126622 and unfortunately the SJ does NOT fit the YM.
I also tried to fit the Jubilee of my 126710BLRO to my YM 126622 but unfortunately it also doesn't fit.

Any clues which Jubilee will fit the YM 126622???

Anyone knows if there is any way of actually doing it and fitting jubilee on that watch?
Thanks in advance.

That would look awesome!

[dannyp]

Only one that would likely work is the old super Jubilee. Didn’t think GMT and YM bracelets were interchangeable (since oyster versions are different references) and the 12 DJ36 has the newer interlug indentations so the end links have the corresponding protrusions.

[dannyboy123]

Thats a great look. Would love a black ceramic bezel on mine.

Can anyone confirm if there is a jubilee that fits the YM40mm? This post seems to suggest not...

Opinions are mixed and I quoted a post that shows that... can you please provide your view on what works?

It looks great on jubilee, I've seen one in person and I love how beautiful it looked.

[worldofoyster]

Just need to get the rose or white gold. Quite the leap but they look amazing for 3X!

That information is unfortunately incorrect.

The super jubilee fits the YM (and the 116610, 116610, 126710, 116500 etc), you just need to use the thinner spring bars from the super jubilee (not the thicker, oyster spring bars). I think the my are 1.8mm vs 2mm for the oyster.

The jubilee from 12-series DJ is different and will not fit.

many thanks. So to confirm:

1) the ideal solution is the Rolex Super Jubilee Bracelet ref 63600 with 1.8mm spring bars?

2) Would the correct end links to use be the 501B? or is nothing additional needed as far as new end links go?

3) Do none of the other jubilee bracelets from the GMTMII fit the YM?

Thanks.

Looks fantastic on the jubilee.

1. Yes
2. Not sure about ref on end links (I used the ones that came with the super jubilee from the 116234)
3. As super jubilee (and sub oyster etc) works on GMT, I don’t see why the gmt jubilee wouldn’t fit the YM?

I don’t own an YM now but I can try to switch bracelets between 126710 and 116500 next week if that helps? 116500 bracelets are interchangeable with YM

Carl if you could please check if the regular GMT jubilee fits I would be REALLY appreciative and thankful and so would likely many others wondering the same thing!

[BroncoOne]

That looks really good! It’s a new watch on this bracelet.

I think almost every dressy Rolex watch looks better on a Jubilee.

Lets hope you're still friends afterwards.

We’re still friends (Bergeon 7825 is amazing) but the first experiment unfortunately failed:

1. The jubilee from 126710 fits flush to the case of 116500

2. The spring bars from the Daytona are too thick to fit in the jubilee so need to use the gmt/jubilee spring bars

3. The spring bars from the jubilee, while slimmer all over, have thicker tips that don’t fit in the Daytona lug holes.

Hence, the jubilee from 126710 can be mounted on the Daytona using the 126710 spring bars. However as the tips are too thick, the will not fully go into the lug holes resulting in spring bar failure at even the slightest touch.

As it seems it would fit using the correct spring bars I will try to source a pair that are slimmer all over and try again.

To be continued…

On a 116500 you can use a super jubilee ref 63600 from discontinued 36mm DJ ref 116200/116234. You can use the original Daytona springbars

Yeah that combination I have actually already tried but I, maybe naively, thought the 126710 jub would work as well. Anyway, will try with different spring bars

Hah thanks for testing carl happy to hear your bromance survived! So just to clarify my understanding... you were trying to make a jubilee fit on a Daytona and not on a Yacht Master?
