GMT Master II Pepsi/Coke.....

Hi Guys

I've decided to purchase a used GMT Master II pepsi or coke, I would like to put the newer oysterlock clasp bracelet on to it once purchased, is this possible? And also what sort of price would a new Oysterlock be (with pcl's) in the UK?

Thanks

You can do what you like...but eeeeuw! Kind of a hodge podge.

IMO that would look a tad silly. PCLs on a classic tool/sportswatch?

No idea on cost. Sorry.

I think that the clasp alone is about 800 bucks...

You can polish up the center links on any Oyster bracelet..

Anything's possible but it's gonna be extremely costy. How much? Not sure but your local AD or RSC should be able to tell you.
You'll love the pepsi.

Agreed, with the exception of a few GMTs/Explorer IIs I've seen with Jubilee bracelets. The white dial Exp someone posted with a Jubilee looked great. Agreed on the use of polished Oysters.

Also, to the OP: don't be so sure it will fit, not all similar looking Rolex bracelets/cases are interchangeable, not sure if it will totally "match up" (based on reading from Timezone).

And I should add the 16710 is extremely comfortable because of the relatively lower profile case and smaller clasp. Once you slap that on your wrist I bet you just might change your mind.

Either leave it as it is or put it on a jubilee, better looking and cheaper than the oysterlock option..
