I like the idea of leaning into the somewhat more vintage look of my Submariner 16610, and the jubilee has always kind of read as an old man's watch bracelet to me (I mean that in a good way).

I know I've seen them on some old Gilt dials. So, I thought, "Ahh, what the hell...why not?"

All that said, I'll have to find some new spring bars. The Rolex spring bars (I believe they're 2mm?) are too large to fit through the holes in the jubilee. I've read the watch may be compatible with 1.8mm - not sure if that's true. I found some 20mm shoulderless (it has drilled through lugs) that are 1.7mm in the center and 0.8mm on the ends. Anyone know if they'll fit?

Anyway, still can't decide quite how I feel about it. Is it a total perversion of the Sub to put it on a jubilee - let alone a non-Rolex jubilee? Maybe!

Personally not for me on Sub. The Oyster bracelet is a classic design combination with the Sub. Like peas in a pod. Its a shared ruggedness i personally think.

GMT's look great on a Jubilee bracelet tho.

Big fan of Jubilee on my DJ, super comfy.

bob78h · 11 July 2019, 11:19 AM

I never really liked the Sub on Jubilee personally. It just doesn't look right to me. I do like it on the GMT.

0.8mm ends on those spring bars are incorrect for your watch. You'll want to look for ones with 1.2mm ends, or risk wearing out your lug holes.

I think there is a specific model of the Jubilee that will fit the 2mm spring bars, since the GMT also uses those bars. Can't remember the model number though...

Try this thread and see if it helps you out. While most of the comments are directed at GMTs, the same comments apply when using Jubilee bracelets on Submariners.

My impression is that you’ll need 502b or 502t endlinks on a holes case or a 63200/63600 super jubilee for a no holes case. As for the spring bars I’m only aware that 2mm fits the no holes setup. Not sure what the holes assembly would require. You can buy a massive box of spring bars in a million sizes for $20 on that auction site. Should say I’m a bit spoiled by my own current rig...

Go for it , have had my 16800 on a jubilee for quite a while now . And I like it on the jubilee ,which is all that really matters since I'm the one wearing it

Lgear080 · 11 July 2019, 06:50 PM

CPR - what endlinks are you using there? Great looking sub!

Woah! That looks great.

delboylee · 11 July 2019, 08:06 PM

Not sure on this. Looks like the sub is trying too hard to be a GMT!

nicon · 11 July 2019, 09:36 PM

Where did you get that jubilee bracelet?

Rocket launcher · 11 July 2019, 09:39 PM

My eyes..my eyes are damned for eternity

AJMarcus · 11 July 2019, 10:43 PM

No. The horror! It looks like a Seiko. It hurts my eyes to look at your Iconic Sub on the jubilee. Please put it back on the oyster where it belongs

efthi · 11 July 2019, 10:49 PM

Seriously now please no, this is ugly.. my eyes hurt as well, my eyes hurt whenever I see a jubilee where it doesn’t belong (Subs, Batman, etc)

I found this pic online once and thought it was amazing. I have both a jubilee and a Kermit so I should give it a try!

love this classic look with the Jubilee band IMO, although not for all it seems, I appreciate the personal preference of band choice.

Gerry62 · 26 January 2023, 08:51 AM

never liked the jubilee not even in the Gmt

Barada7 · 26 January 2023, 09:54 AM

As has been stated previously, the jubilee was an option on the Submariner previously. You can still find some 5513 Subs with original jubilee bracelets. That it’s not your look, doesn’t make a bad look. Lol. Just a bad look for you.

Jackie Daytona · 26 January 2023, 11:20 AM

Not a big fan of jubilee on the Sub personally. But to each their own

DoctorsOrders · 26 January 2023, 11:26 AM

NOt a huge fan of the sub on jubilee, but ive loved seeing some of these pictures!

west8720 · 26 January 2023, 01:56 PM

16610 with jubilee from my 36mm Datejust. Fits great!

I think a Sub looks great on a Jubilee.

faimag · 26 January 2023, 08:42 PM

I have tried that on a 14060. Worked great. Looked great.

Kostas · 26 January 2023, 09:08 PM

5 digit or 6 look great

Even two tone

Me too! Especially the kermit and two-tone models. Keep the pics coming!

brandrea · 27 January 2023, 12:20 AM

I personally think it’s a better look on the 5 digit references
