question about the 62510 jubilee bracelet

so I'm thinking about picking up a 62510 bracelet for my GMT II, and I've noticed that the "correct" jubilee bracelet for the GMT II is the 62510 bracelet with the number "50" on the very last link near the endlink.... why is that?

What I'm asking is, is there any particular difference between a 62510 without the "50" and one that has it? What does it mean?

The difference is in the endlink shape. The springbar diameter is higher for GMT's than for DJ's.

"50" designates endlinks 550, the ones for a 16750 GMT.
This Jubile is also usable with endlinks 502 with a 16710 GMT2 and some other models.

So if I want to put a jubilee on my GMT II, 16710, I need 502 endlinks? If I have 502 endlinks, does it matter whether or not the last link is marked "50"?

Also, my watch has lug holes, does that change what type of enlink to get?

I was originally thinking about picking up a 78360 because I have some 501B endlinks in a drawer I was planning to use... it seems that the jubilee bracelets are a little more complicated, however...

You should better find a jubile marked 50, because the hole for springbars is on the endlinks but also on the last link of the bracelet.

No problem with lugholes, you can use any 502 endlinks (502 or 502T). 502T are required if you don't have lugholes.

Jubilee bracelets (62510) and Oyster bracelet (78360) end links are different styles and do not look the same therefore they and will not interchange. You will need Jubilee endlinks for the Jubilee band.

Yes.. 502 and 502T endlinks are correct for the GMT.. the commonly found 555 endlinks are for a Datejust and have a contour at the case for a 36mm watch, so are not a perfect fit..

The "50" on the last link shows that it will use the GMT 2mm springbar of early DJ's and the GMT. Those without are for the 1.8mm springbars, so you either have to expand the hole or use DJ springbars on your GMT.

Hi all, Happy New Year

Sorry to dug this old thread up. I reckon its better than starting one with the same questions.
I have a 16750 GMT, and looking to dress it up with a jubilee bracelet. So important factors to take note are

-62510 bracelet with last link marked with `50'.
-550 end links

Thanks for helping :)

What reference / model number is your GMT?

This is correct

I have used both a 62510H with the "50" stamp and one without the "50" stamp on my 16710 lug hole GMT Master II. I had to use 2mm springbars on the "50" stamp bracelet and 1.8mm ones for the one without. In both cases I used 502T endlinks.

The 62510H bracelet itself works without issue on 5 digit DJs & GMTs - the key lies with the endlinks and springbars. While the "50" stamp was made for GMTs the non "50" stamp works too

In both cases I used 502T endlinks.

My 62510H with 50 stamp has 502B endlinks (on my 16710 with lug holes). How does 502B differ from 502T and 502?

502 was the EL for the 16760 Fat lady
502B was for 16700/16710
502T was for the 16710T (blind holes)

Anyone know if the 62510H with 502B end links fits on an early 70s 1675? I have it on my 16750 from 1983 and it fits well but in the process of buying an older Pepsi and curious if this bracelet will fit the purchase. Thanks.

The better answer is to try it ...


EL 502 were not designed for a 1675 so if it doesn't fit, you will have to find EL 550 instead. They were designed for 1675 and 16750.

I've been researching which bracelet I need for Rolex GMT 1675. I would like a Jubilee. As I understand this chart, I will require 62510H w/ 550 end links, correct?

https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=73646

However, I keep seeing bracelet 62510H w/ 555 end links for sale?

Will those end links work with my 1675?

Thanks in advance.

You will need 1.8mm spring bars with the 555 end links when fit to a GMT.

Check out this thread I wrote which should make everything crystal clear regarding Jubilee bracelets and end links.

As always, thanks Springer. However, if I'm reading your AWESOME post linked above, it states: "555 - Jubilee model 62510 end links with 1.8mm diameter holes for the spring bars. Used for Datejust and other Rolex models with 20mm lugs and 36mm case diameter. Not designed for GMTs, Subs and other sport models."

To confirm, I have a 1675 GMT. wouldn't I need 62510 with 550 end links?

My apologies if I'm reading this information incorrectly.

Best regards,
Nate

Hi! I am new to this Forum...thanks for all of the very helpful information. I am currently in the market to purchase a new 116710, but would also like to switch to a Jubilee. Will all your information provided above apply to the 116710 as well? Thanks in advance for your help!

Jubilee 62510 with the number 50 stamped on the last link on each side.

550 end links for the 16750 and 502 for the 16700.

22 links total is the standard number of links for the 62510.

Great info guys! Thank you.

I want to get a 62510h with '50' stamp 502T to fit on a 14060m and a 16570 no holes. What I'm wondering is if I buy a set of 555 endlinks to fit a 1016 will the 555 endlinks fit the 62510h with '50' stamp. Also will the bird break last links be a problem for the 1016?

Thanks in advance.
