Jubilee bracelet possible on an F series Explorer II?

Hello All;

I am new to TRF and proud owner of a Y series GMT Master II (Coke bezel) and an F series, white-face Explorer II. I really love the bracelet on these pieces but would like to put a jubilee on either the GMT or the Explorer. Is this possible?

Thanks for the reply. I read on this site that an AD won't make the change for me. Will a regular jeweler do it? Is there a specific size I need? Would people think I am a hack for "altering" the integrity of the watch? Sorry for all the questions..................

Its your watch you can do what ever you want...You dont have to go to a jeweler..you can actually just do it yourself...Its more harder to change a tire or fry and egg than replace your band on your watch...

You need a standard 20mm bracelet and you can do it yourself.

The GMT and Explorer II bracelets are fully interchangeable and the GMT was offered with the Jubilee for many years...

Your problem will be getting hold of the proper bracelet, not if it will fit or not........

Exactly what is "proper"? That's the scary part

If it's a SS one you want, the part number is 62510H w/502 endlinks..

Others will fit, although less precisely.......

You can also use the Super Jubilee on an Exp II.

Just need to be sure to get the correct end pieces, because a lot of DJ jubilee's are out there with end pieces for 36mm cases.
