Icon20 Super Jubilee bracelet on a 116710LN

Hello TRF!

Long time member, first time poster.

I'm curious how you guys feel about swapping out the Oyster bracelet and putting a Super Jubilee on a GMT Master II 116710LN?

This is my current set up yet I've yet to actually put the new Super Jubilee bracelet on.

Let me know what you guys think.

Thanks!
Nelson

I think it’s a great idea. I’d do it myself if not for having to shell out nearly 3k for a bracelet. I really love the Jubilee.

Just curious: if you can’t get the SS models, how much trouble is it to get a Jubilee through an AD?

Wore my LN on the jubilee from my 116234 before I sold them both.
I really liked the combo, and it was comfy and light on the super jubilee... the only downside was the lack of any sort of adjustment.

That looks very nice. The hidden clasp is worth it. For a perfect fit you can buy 1 ½ links if required

How good is the fit? Is it tight at the lugs or is there a bit of ‘wiggle’?

That’s the only thing I’m worried about is not being able to adjust on the fly. Still a great looking combo

Looks killer. I’m not a huge fan of the jubilee in general strictly based on looks, but in this case imo it’s looks like a perfect match. The busy bezel and the jubilee work perfect together.

Resurrecting this thread. This looks great.

Can someone comment about the fit between the SJ endlinks and the case?

Does going the other way work? As in, does the oyster bracelet with the PCLs on a 116234 work?

Cheers!

I bought the original NOS jubilee on eBay and believe that gives the watch it’s original feel and touch ... plus cost about a third of a price regardless the upgrade in adjustment and probably refinement of new model ... different wear and different feel with that “rattlesnake” cling;) ... having also my TT DJ 36 on jubilee and it’s great change though oyster is the sport SS King IMO ... If you have more Rolex pieces ... having one on jubilee is must ... have a nice day

The jubilee is just more 'slinky' than the Oyster and it has more ventilation slots so in warmer weather it feels less clammy. Its all round more comfortable than the Oyster.

It looks good, but some people here who can't get one will start calling it a GirlMT.

Either looks really good. My personal opinion is that it belongs on a jubilee due to its intended function. I don't mean to say that it's inappropriate for an oyster. I just prefer the GMT on jubilee and sub on fully brushed oyster. I never got the oyster polished center links instead of a jubilee.

Can't really go wrong whatever your personal preference.

Can anyone comment on the fit between the super jubilee and the GMT case?

Also, does it work the other way around, as in the oyster bracelet working on the DJ?

Cheers!

The LN looks pretty sweet on a super jubilee.

this looks super clean I even like it better then the batgirl. If this model comes out with lets say red instead of green it will be a hot seller for sure. I always liked the LN just not the shade of green they used.

I agree. I prefer the red 24 hour hand over green.

I agree, the jubilee was a fantastic change to an already beautiful watch.
Stunning shot.
