End link for Submariner, GMT Master and Daytona

Gents, as per above, is the bracelet interchangeable? Thanks

Sorry, it's for the 6 digits model :D

I have a 63600 Jubilee bracelet that fits perfectly on my 16710 and 116500. I bought it from someone who wore it perfectly on a 116710. It's also made for a 36mm DJ 116234. So right there you have 4 watches that all work perfectly with the same bracelet.

The 63600 can fit my 116610 but the fit was not totally snug and there was some slight play when I tried it. However, I know several people who use a 116610 Glidelock bracelet on a 116710. So it would seem the sub glidelock bracelet will fit the GMT but the GMT bracelet may not fit the sub.

I should also add that the glidelock bracelet also fit my 16610 no problem.

Confused yet?

After breaking down your points, not confusing at all if my deduction is correct. GMT Master and Daytona shares same end link but slightly smaller than the one on Submariner. Thanks.

Will try it out myself as sourcing for Rubber Strap and was wondering if it can be paired with multiple model.

No, they are not "perfect fits".

The 36mm Jubilee contour does not mate up directly to the 40mm cases and you have to compromise with the smaller DJ spring-bars.

The 116610 also has it's own unique spring bars with larger pivots and lug holes so when you use the smaller spring-bars you may damage the holes as it moves around in there..

Even though you can physically attach some bracelets (some actually are interchangeable) make sure that you know the trade-offs.

Thanks Larry, will take note of that. I'm getting a rubber strap for Daytona and just wondering if it could fit Sub. Rubber should be easier to manhandle and fit in compared to steel.
