Can You Put a Jubilee Bracelet on a Submariner?
Yes, a Jubilee bracelet fits a Rolex Submariner, provided you pair it with the correct end links for your case. The Submariner ships from the factory on an Oyster bracelet, so the Jubilee is a style swap rather than a factory configuration. Oysters Jubilee manufactures new aftermarket Submariner bracelets and the matched end links that make this swap sit flush. We produce these components directly, machined to match the dimensions each Submariner reference requires. If you want the wider picture first, our guide to which Rolex models fit a Jubilee bracelet maps compatibility across the catalog.

Oyster vs Jubilee on the Submariner
The choice between an Oyster and a Jubilee changes both the wrist feel and the look of a Submariner. Each bracelet construction carries its own history with the model, and each calls for specific end links to fit the case correctly.
The Oyster Bracelet, the Period-Correct Submariner Choice
The Oyster bracelet is the period-correct Submariner bracelet, the three-link construction Rolex fitted to the dive watch from its earliest references. Its flat, sturdy links match the tool-watch purpose of the Submariner, and the design pairs with hollow end links coded to each case. For a faithful restoration, the Rolex Oyster bracelet remains the accurate pick. We manufacture new Oyster components to match the dimensions of references from the 5512 through the 16610.
The Jubilee Bracelet, a Dressier Aftermarket Option
The Jubilee bracelet brings a dressier, five-link look to a watch built for the water. Rolex designed the Jubilee for the Datejust in 1945, so it was never a stock Submariner fitting, which is exactly why the combination reads as a personal statement. Our Jubilee bracelets are new aftermarket components, precision machined to fit Submariner cases when matched with compatible end links. The result softens the sport profile without changing the case or lug width.
On a Submariner, the Oyster is the period-correct bracelet and the Jubilee is the style swap; both fit, but they say different things.

Jubilee End Link Fitment for the Submariner
End links are the parts that decide whether a Jubilee bracelet fits your Submariner. They bridge the bracelet to the case, and the wrong code leaves gaps or an insecure fit. Lug width and case reference both factor into the correct choice.
Why End Links Decide Submariner Compatibility (20mm Lug Width)
Every Submariner uses a defined lug width, and the end link must match both that width and the curve of the case. Five-digit Submariner references like the 5513 and 16610 use a 20mm lug width, which sets the bracelet interface. To find the correct fit:
- Identify your Submariner reference number, usually engraved between the lugs.
- Confirm the lug width, 20mm on five-digit cases.
- Match the bracelet code and hollow end link code to that reference.
A flush end link preserves the clean line from case to bracelet without gaps.
Which Jubilee End Links Fit a Submariner (550, 502B, 502T)
The Submariner shares its 20mm sport case and its Oyster end link codes with the GMT-Master of the same period, and the Jubilee bracelet that fits one fits the other. The bracelet itself is the 62510H Jubilee, the same five-link bracelet used on the 20mm sport models. The end link follows the case:
- 550, for Submariner references that carry the 580 Oyster end link: the 5513 and 1680, along with the 16800.
- 502B, for the 501B end link references with drilled lugs: the 16610 and 14060.
- 502T, for the later no-holes versions of those references.
Each end link is manufactured to match the case dimensions for flush fitment, so the Jubilee sits tight against the lugs with no gap. Matching the end link to your exact reference is what keeps the bracelet secure.

20mm vs 21mm, Five-Digit vs Newer Submariner Cases
Lug width separates the classic Submariner from the modern one. Five-digit and earlier references, including the 5512, 5513, 1680, 16800, and 16610, carry a 20mm lug width. The newer six-digit Submariner, such as the 116610 and 126610, moves to a 21mm lug width and a wider case. A Jubilee built for a 20mm vintage case will not sit correctly on a 21mm modern case, so confirm the generation before selecting a bracelet and end link combination.

Submariner Bracelet Construction Across Production Periods
Submariner bracelets evolved across several production periods, and that history shapes which swap looks right. The earliest references wore riveted construction on the 7206 Oyster bracelet, recognizable by the visible rivets along the outer links. Through the late 1960s and 1970s, Rolex moved to folded construction on the 9315 bracelet. From the mid-1970s onward, the hollow mid-link 93150 became standard, carrying the 580 and later 501B Oyster end links coded to each case.
A Jubilee swap sits within this same logic. The 62510H Jubilee bracelet matches the 20mm case, and the end link follows the period: 550 on the 580 references, 502B or 502T on the 501B and no-holes references. We manufacture new components across these construction types, machined to match the dimensions documented for each production period. The bracelets carry no brand markings and ship as new aftermarket parts.
Tudor Submariner Jubilee Fitment
Tudor Submariner owners can run a Jubilee swap on the same principles. Tudor shared case dimensions with Rolex across many references, so end link logic carries over, though each reference still needs its own confirmation.
Tudor Submariner References and Compatible End Links (79090, 7928)
Tudor Submariner references including the 7928, 7016, and 79090 accept Jubilee bracelets when matched with compatible end links. Because case dimensions track closely with their Rolex counterparts, the same hollow end link families apply. For the 79090 specifically, our Tudor Submariner 79090 Bracelets and End Links cover the correct fit, and the full Tudor bracelet and end link compatibility chart maps every reference. We manufacture each Tudor component as a new aftermarket part, precision machined to match the case it serves.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Datejust Jubilee bracelet fit a Submariner?
Not directly. The Jubilee bracelet that fits a Submariner is the 62510H with a Submariner-correct end link (550, 502B, or 502T), not a Datejust end link. The bracelet links are shared across the 20mm models, but the end link must match your Submariner reference, which is why the code matters more than the bracelet alone.
Will a Jubilee end link sit flush against a Submariner case?
Yes, when the end link code matches your reference and lug width. A correctly coded hollow end link bridges the case and bracelet without gaps, preserving the clean line collectors look for. The wrong code leaves visible spacing or an insecure fit, so confirm the reference first.
Are solid end links available for a Submariner Jubilee?
We manufacture hollow end links only. Solid end links belong to later-production bracelets outside our range. Every Oysters Jubilee end link is the hollow type — including the 502T used on no-holes variants of the 16610 and 14060M.. Every Oysters Jubilee Submariner end link is the hollow type matched to vintage references.
Which Jubilee bracelet and end link fits each Submariner reference?
Each Submariner reference pairs with the 62510H Jubilee bracelet and a specific hollow end link code. These collections cover the correct fit by reference:
Submariner 5513 Bracelets and End Links
The 5513 is a dateless, 20mm Submariner from the gilt and matte-dial periods. For the Jubilee swap it takes the 62510H bracelet with the 550 end link, matched to the same 20mm case the 580 Oyster end link uses. Our 5513 collection carries the new aftermarket bracelet and end link.
Submariner 1680 Bracelets and End Links
The 1680 introduced the date to the Submariner and uses a 20mm lug width. The Jubilee swap pairs the 62510H bracelet with the 550 end link on the standard hollow mid-link period. This collection provides the new aftermarket components matched to the 1680 case for a flush fit.
Submariner 16800 Bracelets and End Links
The 16800 marks the transitional Submariner with a 20mm case and the 93150 Oyster bracelet. For a Jubilee, it takes the 62510H bracelet with the 550 end link. Our 16800 collection carries the new bracelet and end link, or the period-correct Oyster if you prefer the classic look.
Submariner 16610 Bracelets and End Links
The 16610 is the long-running five-digit Submariner, built around a 20mm lug width and the 501B Oyster end link. The Jubilee swap uses the 62510H bracelet with the 502B end link on drilled-lug cases, or the 502T on later no-holes cases. This collection covers both.
Submariner 14060 Bracelets and End Links
The 14060 is the dateless companion to the 16610, sharing its 20mm case and 501B end link. The Jubilee swap takes the 62510H bracelet with the 502B end link, or the 502T on the no-holes 14060M. Our 14060 collection supplies the new aftermarket components machined to fit.
