Rolex GMT-Master Bracelet and End Link Compatibility by Reference Number

Bracelet and end link compatibility varies across GMT-Master references based on production era and case configuration. All three references share 20mm lug width with drilled lug holes, but bracelet codes and end link profiles shifted as link construction evolved from riveted to folded to hollow.

GMT-Master 1675 Bracelets and End Links (1959-1980)

The 1675 spans three distinct bracelet eras. Early production (1959-1967) pairs with riveted Oyster reference 7206 and end link 58, or folded Jubilee 6251H with end link 55. Mid-production (1967-1976) transitions to folded Oyster 7836 with end link 280, retaining the Jubilee 6251H configuration. Late production (1976-1980) moves to hollow Oyster 78360 with end link 580 and hollow Jubilee 62510H with end link 550. This makes the 1675 the most versatile GMT-Master reference for bracelet options.

GMT-Master 16750 Bracelets and End Links (1981-1988)

The 16750 carried forward hollow link construction exclusively. Oyster reference 78360 pairs with end link 580, and Jubilee reference 62510H pairs with end link 550. Production ran through a single bracelet era, simplifying component selection. The 16750 introduced the sapphire crystal to the GMT-Master line while maintaining full Oyster and Jubilee bracelet compatibility with shared 20mm case geometry.

GMT-Master 16700 Bracelets and End Links (1988-1999)

The final GMT-Master reference pairs Oyster 78360 with end link 501B and Jubilee 62510H with end link 502B. End link profiles shifted from the 580/550 codes used on earlier references to accommodate subtle case geometry updates. The 16700 shares its end link codes with the GMT-Master II 16710 and 16760, enabling cross-reference compatibility for collectors maintaining multiple GMT variants.

Oyster vs. Jubilee Bracelet: Which Style Fits Your Rolex GMT-Master?

Every GMT-Master reference from the 1675 through the 16700 shipped with both Oyster and Jubilee options, making it one of few Rolex sport models with dual bracelet availability across its entire production run. Choosing between them comes down to aesthetics and wrist feel, not compatibility.

Oyster Bracelet

The three-link Rolex GMT-Master Oyster bracelet delivers a sportier profile suited to the model's tool watch heritage. Oyster references progressed from riveted 7206 to folded 7836 to hollow 78360, each era offering distinct weight and articulation characteristics. Hollow link 78360 remains the most common Oyster configuration, compatible with late-production 1675, 16750, and 16700 cases.

Jubilee Bracelet

The five-link Rolex GMT-Master Jubilee bracelet provides a dressier aesthetic with greater wrist conformity. Jubilee construction moved from folded reference 6251H with end link 55 on early 1675 models to hollow 62510H with end links 550 and 502B on later references. The Jubilee's polished center links create visual contrast against brushed outer links, giving the GMT-Master a refined character without sacrificing the sport watch silhouette.

Switching Between Styles

Oysters Jubilee manufactures both bracelet styles in NEW aftermarket hollow link construction. Both Oyster and Jubilee bracelets use the same end link codes for each reference, so switching between styles requires only a bracelet swap with matching end links already fitted to your watch.

How to Identify Your Rolex GMT-Master Reference Number

Case Reference and Serial Number Location

GMT-Master reference and serial numbers are engraved between the lugs on the case side. Remove the bracelet or slide the end links aside to expose the engravings at the 12 o'clock position (reference number) and 6 o'clock position (serial number). The reference number determines bracelet and end link compatibility, while the serial number narrows production year for era-correct component matching.

Visual Identifiers by GMT-Master Production Era

Quick visual tells distinguish the three references without removing the bracelet. The 1675 features an acrylic crystal and aluminum bezel insert with no crown guards on early examples. The 16750 introduced a sapphire crystal while retaining the aluminum bezel. The 16700 paired the sapphire crystal with a tritium dial and updated case finishing. Bezel insert coloring, dial luminous material, and crown guard profile all help narrow which reference you own.

GMT-Master Bracelet Installation and Fitment Guide

DIY Bracelet Installation

Most GMT-Master bracelet installations are straightforward with a spring bar tool. Compress the spring bar, slide the end link between the lugs, and release to seat. Hollow end links on 1675, 16750, and 16700 references use standard 20mm spring bars. A soft cloth beneath the watch prevents case scratches during the swap.

When to Use a Professional Watchmaker

Riveted link bracelets (reference 7206) on early 1675 models require more care during installation to avoid damaging fragile vintage-style components. If you're working with folded link references 7836 or 6251H, a professional watchmaker ensures spring bars seat properly without stressing the folded link construction.

Frequently Asked Questions About Rolex GMT-Master Bracelets

Can I Put a Jubilee Bracelet on My GMT-Master 1675?

Yes. The GMT-Master 1675 was offered with both Oyster and Jubilee bracelets throughout its production run. Early 1675 models pair with folded Jubilee reference 6251H and end link 55, while late-production examples use hollow Jubilee 62510H with end link 550. Oysters Jubilee manufactures both configurations.

What Bracelet Codes Are Compatible with the Rolex GMT-Master 16750?

The 16750 supports Oyster bracelet reference 78360 with hollow end link 580, and Jubilee bracelet reference 62510H with hollow end link 550. Both use 20mm lug width with drilled lug holes.

What Is the Difference Between End Link 550 and 502B on a GMT-Master?

End link 550 fits GMT-Master 1675 (late production) and 16750 references. End link 502B fits the 16700, along with GMT-Master II 16710 and 16760. Both are hollow construction Jubilee end links, but their profiles differ slightly to match case geometry updates between production eras.
