Rolex GMT-Master 16700 Bracelet and End Links

New Aftermarket Bracelets and Hollow End Links for the Final GMT-Master Reference

Oysters Jubilee manufactures NEW aftermarket Rolex GMT-Master 16700 bracelets and hollow end links covering both Oyster and Jubilee configurations. The 16700 was the last standard GMT-Master Rolex produced, running from 1988 through 1999 before the GMT-Master II took over the line entirely. Our precision-machined components include Oyster bracelet 78360 with 501B end links, Jubilee bracelet 62510H with 502B end links, individual end link pairs, extra links, and springbars. Every part ships new and ready for installation.

Built to Match Documented Vintage Dimensions

We manufacture each bracelet and end link to period-correct tolerances based on documented vintage reference materials. Hollow link construction in 316L stainless steel is manufactured to match documented late-1980s and 1990s production specifications. All components fit the 16700's 20mm lug width with drilled lug holes, seating flush against the case for proper wrist-side geometry.

Manufacturer-Direct with No Middleman Pricing

Oysters Jubilee manufactures and sells directly from our production line. No dealer sourcing, no third-party markup. You receive new aftermarket components at manufacturer pricing with consistent quality control from machining through shipping.

Oyster Bracelet 78360 with 501B Hollow End Links for Rolex GMT-Master 16700

The three-link Oyster bracelet reference 78360 paired with 501B hollow end links is the correct Oyster configuration for the Rolex GMT-Master 16700. This is where the 16700 diverges from earlier GMT-Master references: the 1675 and 16750 both used 580 end links on the same 78360 bracelet body, but the 16700 shifted to the 501B code to accommodate updated case lug geometry.

Shared Oyster Configuration with the GMT-Master II

The 16700's Oyster setup is identical to the GMT-Master II 16760 and pre-1999 drilled-lug 16710 production. Collectors who own a 16700 alongside either GMT-Master II reference can use the same 78360 bracelet and 501B end links across all three watches. We offer the 78360 as a complete assembly with 501B end links or as a standalone bracelet body for owners who already have the correct end links.

Jubilee Bracelet 62510H with 502B Hollow End Links for Rolex GMT-Master 16700

The five-link Jubilee bracelet reference 62510H with 502B hollow end links gives the 16700 a dressier wrist presence. Polished center links contrast against brushed outer links in the D-style link profile that defines the Jubilee aesthetic. Like the Oyster configuration, the 16700's Jubilee end link code differs from earlier GMT-Masters: the 1675 and 16750 used 550 end links, while the 16700 moved to 502B.

Complete Jubilee Assembly for Direct Installation

We pair the 62510H with 502B end links as a pre-assembled bracelet ready for installation on 16700 cases. The foldover clasp and period-correct finishing ship as a complete unit. The Jubilee bracelet body is also available separately for owners pairing it with existing 502B end links.

501B and 502B Hollow End Links for the GMT-Master 16700

End links wear faster than bracelet bodies and are the most frequently replaced component on vintage GMT-Master bracelets. The 16700 uses two end link codes, both in hollow construction with 20mm spring bar fitment for drilled lug cases.

Oyster 501B End Links

The 501B end links fit the 78360 Oyster bracelet on the GMT-Master 16700 and cross-fit to the GMT-Master II 16760, GMT-Master II 16710, Explorer II 16550 and 16570, and Submariner 16610 and 14060. This cross-reference compatibility covers a wide range of vintage Rolex sport models from the same production era.

Jubilee 502B End Links

The 502B end links pair with the 62510H Jubilee bracelet on the 16700, 16760, and drilled-lug 16710 cases. Later 16710 production (1999 onward) transitioned to no-holes cases requiring the 502T end link instead. The 16700 exclusively uses drilled lug holes, so the 502B is the only Jubilee end link code applicable to this reference.

Confirm Your End Link Code Before Ordering

Ordering the wrong end link code creates fitment gaps between case and bracelet. The difference between 580 and 501B is not visible at a glance but matters at the lug interface. Use the chart below to confirm your configuration. Check the Rolex Compatibility Chart

How 16700 Bracelet Compatibility Differs from the 1675 and 16750

All three GMT-Master references share the same bracelet bodies (78360 Oyster, 62510H Jubilee) and 20mm lug width with drilled lug holes. The critical difference is in end link codes, which changed as Rolex updated case lug profiles across production eras.

End Link Codes by GMT-Master Reference

1. GMT-Master 1675 (late production, 1976 to 1980): Oyster 78360 with 580 end links, Jubilee 62510H with 550 end links
2. GMT-Master 16750 (1981 to 1988): Same as late 1675, Oyster 78360 with 580, Jubilee 62510H with 550
3. GMT-Master 16700 (1988 to 1999): Oyster 78360 with 501B end links, Jubilee 62510H with 502B end links

Swapping end links between these groups results in improper seating against the case lugs. If you are replacing end links on a 16700, confirm you are ordering 501B or 502B rather than the 580 or 550 codes used on earlier references.

Cross-Compatibility with the GMT-Master II 16710 and 16760

The 16700 shares its 501B and 502B end link codes with both GMT-Master II references. The 16760 ("Fat Lady") ran concurrently with the 16700 from 1983 through 1988, and the 16710 succeeded the 16760 with production from 1989 through 2007. Components are fully interchangeable across these three references for the drilled-lug production period. The 16700 is the only GMT-Master that bridges backward to the classic line and forward to the GMT-Master II through shared end link codes. View the Full Compatibility Chart

Bracelets for Other GMT-Master and GMT-Master II References

GMT-Master 1675 Bracelets and End Links

The 1675 uses the same 78360 Oyster and 62510H Jubilee bracelet bodies as the 16700, but pairs them with 580 and 550 end links respectively. Three distinct bracelet eras across the 1675's two-decade production run mean more configuration options and more components to match.

GMT-Master 16750 Bracelets and End Links

The 16750 shares the 16700's single-era simplicity with one Oyster and one Jubilee configuration, but retains the 580 and 550 end link codes from the 1675. If you are deciding between 16750 and 16700 end links, your case reference number is the deciding factor.

GMT-Master II 16760 Bracelets and End Links

The 16760 uses identical bracelet and end link codes to the 16700, making components fully interchangeable between these two references. Both use Oyster 78360 with 501B and Jubilee 62510H with 502B on drilled-lug cases.

GMT-Master II 16710 Bracelets and End Links

The 16710 shares 501B and 502B end links with the 16700 for drilled-lug production, and adds the updated 78790 Oyster bracelet for post-1995 cases and 502T Jubilee end links for no-holes cases produced from 1999 onward.
