Jubilee Bracelet

Quick Question. Is it possible to purchase a Jubilee bracelet from Rolex? I asked my AD and they said not possible.

Alternatively, is it possible to swap the jubilee bracelet from a DJ41 into the GMT Master2 LN ?

Thanks in advance.

in North America it is probably not possible unless you have a DJ41 and go to an AD saying you bought that second hand and it didn't have a bracelet....
AD and RSC in Europe (maybe Asia) are more incline to sell the piece on their own

The Jubilee from the DJ41 won't fit a GMT II. The endlinks are 21mm and you need 20mm.

The bracelet you would need is a Super Jubilee 63200 or 63600 and a pair of spring bars from a 16520/116520/116500 Daytona with solid endlinks.

Unfortunately the bracelets are difficult to purchase from Rolex unless you already own a watch with the bracelet that you need.

When I bought my EXP II in Bergen, Norway I commented to the store manager that I had purchased a Jubilee bracelet for my 1675 GMT at her same store in 1983 for $100. She looked at her price list and the same band was available today for approx. $1450.

But I have seen GMT2 LN on bracelet in IG post. How did they do that then?

They're on a 63600 or 63200 Super Jubilee or an older 62510H with "50" ends and 501B endlinks.

You specifically asked about the DJ41 Jubilee bracelet and it's too wide to fit.

It's all in the details. I explained this above.

I've been trying to buy a jubilee for my GMT for a couple of years. An AD in the US said he would order me one but I would have to turn in my oyster bracelet. No deal.

I wouldn’t do it either, but i can see why that’s an issue. Probably not a great idea to have guys buying real bracelets when selling fake watches.

Pardon the delayed reply. So the DJ36 Jubilee bracelet will fit the GMT LN?

Correct.

You'll need springbars from a Daytona for them to fit. The bars from the GMT have too large of diameter to pass through the Jubilee endlinks.
