“5O” Jubilee bracelet question

[Kid Blue]

I recently purchased a late-70s 1625 in great condition, very reputable, with no complaints.

While the bracelet clasp is marked correctly (“D6”) and the end-links are appropriately 455s, the bracelet itself has no markings on it. My later GMT has a “50” on the last link, and I’ve been confused about whether this one could or should have any markings on the bracelet itself.

Thanks!

455 are not GMT end links. On a correct GMT Jubilee, it should also be stamped 50 on the last link on both sides. Also, the spring bars should be 2mm in width for a GMT. Most of the other non sport models used 1.8mm wide spring bars - like on a Datejust.

Thanks for the replies — I was only referencing the bracelet on my GMT for reference. To be clear, my Thunderbird (1625) does NOT have a bracelet stamped 50 and the end links are 455. Is this correct?
