After 11 years and 38 countries with my trusty travel companion I decided it was time to give it a little upgrade.

I was conflicted between what would give the watch a new feel a period correct bezel insert or a jubilee bracelet, and as you can see, I opted for the bracelet since the insert has begun to take on its own bit of character.

Doing a bit of research and looking at the recent refinish on the case I opted for a LNOS 62510H bracelet.

Maybe with the new bracelet a mint period correct insert is in order, but until then, I'm just going to enjoy this new combination.

Thanks to the great member here for sharing his knowledge, opinion, and helping me acquire the bracelet.

May I ask you which endlinks did you choose? (I'm thinking also to a Jubilee upgrade 😁)

I suggest sourcing a 62510 with 50 stamped on the last link and 550 endlinks which is appropriate for GMT spring bars. The oval Jub is not as nice.

I agree with @ATWG. I took my 16710 GMT to RSC Dallas. They were happy to order the bracelet and ends for me. I was told to expect 6-8 weeks. I got the call at around 2 weeks. I recently have had similar success with just end pieces, at my local Rolex AD. That same AD has also confirmed they will order another Jubilee for my Datejust, when I am ready to do that.

In my experience, Rolex retail on Jubilee bracelets and ends is generally cheaper than sourcing preowned through forums, EBay etc.

The invoice confirms I was out the door for $1,244.00 on 11/10/2022

SS ends are typically around $90.00 or $180 for a pair and TT are around $180.00 each

A couple of 1675s I've owned. I sold the RB a few years back.
