Batman Jubilee bracelet swap

Hey guys - my friend has the Batman on the Jubilee and has expressed interest in swapping to an Oyster to gain the more versatile use vs the dressier jubilee. I have heard that Rolex made the lugs slightly diff for the jubilee vs the oyster. Is this true? I feel like I have also seen people prove this incorrect by swapping oysters on and the jubilee onto a Sub etc.

I am also curious about this. I have a Hulk, and wondering if the Jubilee bracelet From a Batgirl will fit, or the PCL bracelet from a Daytona will fit because I don’t like the brushed finish on the Hulk, it’s too plain. Someone has to know this.

Ive seen a blog somewhere, where someone did this exact swap. Jubilee to the Hulk and vice versus. But I wanted to hear from someone more technical than a blog.

Ditto, was searching for the same post right now. Honestly, I think an all brushed, NON-PCL, Oyster would harken back to 16750/16710 territory.

From Bob's Watches: "According to his comments, he took the steel Oyster bracelet from his GMT-Master II “Batman” and combined it with the spring bars from the Jubilee bracelet of his GMT-Master II “Pepsi.” Using this method, he successfully attached the Oyster bracelet from his ref. 116710BLNR to his ref. 126710BLRO"

So assuming the spring bars follow accordingly.

After more research, the trick is to simply use 1.5mm shouldered spring bars to go Oyster to Jubilee or Put a Jubilee on a watch that had Oyster.

No such thing as a hulk or batgirl only in internet childlike kindergarten land learn the correct references for the watches.

I really hate when Pussy Galore trips over Mr. Bond who was distracted by Sophia Loren who was watching the Fat Lady sing before Paul Newman auditioned for the role of Batman. Then the Pepsi challenge bumped off Coke only to be beaten by Dad's Rootbeer. A Hulk like beating no less. It also looks like Kermit dumped Ms. Piggy for Batgirl.

A real Apocalypse Now, good thing I am wearing my Capt. Willard (oops wrong brand)...

From memory most bracelets are interchangeable but you must use the pins that came with the watch this applies to 6 digit models with no case holes


Be careful what you change on 5 digit models if they don’t have case holes be careful what end link is used ,

You can switch to Oyster , just need to use the Jubilee spring bars.
I did it with 116710LN (black GMT ) bracelet. Purchased 2nd set of spring bars so each bracelet has its own set as well.

Do you have pictures? I like the fat lugs on original Batman, but it’s hard to find one in excellent shape on grey market. If I can swap and it looks great, I’m sold.

From my experience trying to fit a oyster to a new 126710 gmt is very fiddly ,And then trying to use the new Jubilee from a 126710 with the new style endlinks with the flange on the bottom edge that tucks in the Watch case ,I didn’t even attempt it. I then realise most people are using the super jubilee 62300 version bracelet.
