Super Jubilee for a BLNR

Just picked up a super jubilee from DavidSW for my BLNR.

I know this is the wrong time to ask, but I haven't opened the Rolex package and want to ask the experts if this one will work. It's marked B20-63200A-20-E1?

Not sure; 63600 is the bracelet number that I know works on the 116710 BLNR.
David is great, if you consulted with him on your goal then he will steer you in the right path.

Both 63600 and 62510 I've heard will work for Rolex GMT IIc

That's what I thought, I talked with David he thought this, 63200 only needed 1.8mm springbars.

Just want to make sure. Hopefully our more knowledgable Rolex guys will chime in.

If david told you it fits the BLNR I am sure it does.

Are the 1.8mm springbars something special? Or are they readily available?

Just found my answer! The 63600 is the newer version of the 63200!! David SW ROCKS!!


"Good question, Grady.

It just so happens that a couple of years ago, the 63600 Jubiliee bracelet was introduced on 36mm DateJust watches with diamond bezels because women were buying those watches and it was difficult to size the 63200 bracelets for small wrists, so the 63600 bracelet, otherwise identical to the 63200, came with two extra removable links.

It appears now, according to the new catalog, that all 36mm DJ watches will come with the 63600 bracelet, probably because women are continuing to show interest in larger watches.

By the way, both bracelets are made of 904L steel.

Thanks to Jordan Ficklin, watchmaker, of Beauchamp Jewelers in ABQ, NM, for help with this answer.

I also sourced a SJ bracelet from DSW 4-5 months ago. I put my 16710 Coke on it instead of my BLNR. Local watch guy used 1.8mm spring bars.

I'm also wearing 63600 on a 16710! I absolutely love it. The bracelet
Feels strong and heavy. I'm willing to guess there's a little more heft to it than the oyster bracelet that comes with my watch.

The look is somehow modern and classic (almost vintage), dressy and sporty and super comfortable!

I have been trying to source an extra set of 1.8mm springbars for my Super Jubilee. So far, no luck from my AD. Not as easy to find as some may think, especially Rolex brand.

If someone knows where I can get a set, please let me know.

I'm thinking it might be good conversion for my BLNR and to provide a solid contrast my very "tool" SD4K :)

I'm glad you guys like it! I had also learnt this combo on this forum by someone posts before making the swap!
The center links are polished and the bracelet has hidden clasp! It fits me well on my tiny wrist! I think it looks smaller and dressier than the oyster bracelet!
