Why Collectors Choose Oysters Jubilee for GMT-Master II Bracelet Restoration

Precision Manufactured to Era-Correct GMT-Master II Specifications

We manufacture each bracelet for GMT-Master II references using period-correct tolerances and hollow link construction. Every component is machined to match era-specific geometry, from the three-link Oyster profile of the 78360 to the five-link polished-center pattern of the 62510H Jubilee. Hollow end links like the 501B and 502B reproduce the stamped construction methods used across 1980s and 1990s production runs.

Complete Oyster and Jubilee Bracelet Coverage Across GMT-Master II References

Our product line spans the full GMT-Master II bracelet range for both the 16760 and 16710. That includes Oyster references 78360 and 78790, Jubilee reference 62510H, and hollow end links in 501B, 502B, and 502T codes. Both bracelet styles are available as complete assemblies with end links or as standalone bracelet bodies and individual end link pairs. Extra links, half links, and springbars round out the catalog.

Direct-to-Consumer Manufacturing with No Middlemen

Oysters Jubilee manufactures and sells directly. No dealer markup, no third-party sourcing. You're buying NEW aftermarket components straight from the production line, which keeps pricing competitive and quality control under our roof from start to finish.

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

The GMT-Master II line includes two distinct references with different production eras and bracelet configurations. Matching the correct bracelet and end link code to your specific reference ensures proper fitment and a period-correct appearance.

GMT-Master II 16760 Bracelets and End Links (1983 to 1988)

The 16760, known as the "Fat Lady" for its thicker case profile, was the first true GMT-Master II with an independently adjustable hour hand. Produced from 1983 through 1988, this reference uses the Oyster 78360 bracelet with 501B hollow end links. Jubilee configurations pair the 62510H bracelet with 502B hollow end links. All 16760 cases feature drilled lug holes and 20mm lug width. The 16760 shares its bracelet and end link codes with the concurrent GMT-Master 16700, so components are cross-compatible between these two references.

GMT-Master II 16710 Bracelets and End Links (1989 to 1999)

The 16710 succeeded the 16760 with a slimmer case and an extended production run spanning nearly two decades. From 1989 through 1995, this reference paired with the Oyster 78360 bracelet and 501B hollow end links, the same Oyster configuration used on the earlier 16760. Starting in 1995, the updated Oyster 78790 bracelet replaced the 78360 while retaining the same 501B hollow end links and 20mm lug width. Jubilee options use the 62510H with 502B end links throughout the drilled-lug production era. Later 16710 examples from 1999 onward transitioned to no-holes cases with 502T end links on Jubilee configurations. Oysters Jubilee manufactures components for the full 16710 production span, including both 502B and 502T Jubilee end links.

How to Identify Your Rolex GMT-Master II Reference Number

Case Reference and Serial Number Location

On both the 16760 and 16710, the reference number is stamped between the lugs at the 12 o'clock side of the case, visible once the bracelet is removed. The serial number sits between the lugs at 6 o'clock. Later 16710 models (post-2000) also carry the serial engraved on the inner rehaut ring, though removing the bracelet remains the definitive method for confirming your reference.

Visual Identifiers by GMT-Master II Production Era

The 16760 is identifiable by its noticeably thicker case profile and the "Fat Lady" nickname it earned from collectors. The 16710 shares the standard GMT-Master case proportions with a slimmer silhouette. Bezel inserts also help narrow things down: the 16760 came exclusively with a black and red "Coke" bezel, while the 16710 appeared in black and red, blue and red "Pepsi," and all-black variants. If your case has drilled lug holes, it predates 1999. No-holes cases indicate a later 16710 production run.

GMT-Master II Bracelet Installation and Fitment Guide

DIY Bracelet Installation

Swapping a GMT-Master 2 bracelet is straightforward with a spring bar tool. Compress the spring bars at each lug, slide the old bracelet free, and position the new bracelet with end links seated flush against the case. Drilled lug holes on pre-1999 cases make this process easier since you can push the spring bars through from the outside.

When to Use a Professional Watchmaker

Consider professional installation if your 16710 has a no-holes case, which requires more precise spring bar manipulation. A watchmaker can also verify correct end link fitment and adjust bracelet length by adding or removing links.

Oyster vs. Jubilee Bracelet for the Rolex GMT-Master II

Both the 16760 and 16710 were offered with Oyster and Jubilee bracelets for Rolex GMT-Master II models, giving collectors a choice between sport and dress aesthetics on the same watch.

Oyster Bracelet

The Rolex GMT-Master II Oyster bracelet features a three-link flat construction with brushed finishing and a folding Oysterlock clasp. On the GMT-Master II, it appeared as reference 78360 across both models and as the updated 78790 on later 16710 production. The Oyster delivers a tool-watch look that matches the GMT-Master II's travel and sport heritage. Oysters Jubilee manufactures both the 78360 and 78790 in hollow link construction, paired with 501B hollow end links.

Jubilee Bracelet

The GMT-Master II Jubilee bracelet uses a five-link design with polished center links and brushed outer links, reference 62510H for both GMT-Master II references. This dressier option softens the wrist presence and became increasingly popular among collectors who wear the GMT-Master II as a daily watch rather than a dedicated travel piece. We manufacture the 62510H with 502B end links for drilled-lug cases and 502T end links for no-holes 16710 cases.

Frequently Asked Questions About Rolex GMT-Master II Bracelets

What bracelet fits a Rolex GMT-Master II 16710?

The 16710 accepts Oyster bracelet references 78360 (1989 to 1995) and 78790 (1995 onward), both with 501B hollow end links. Jubilee bracelet reference 62510H fits with 502B end links on drilled-lug cases or 502T end links on later no-holes cases.

What is the difference between 502B and 502T end links for the GMT-Master II?

Both are hollow Jubilee end links for the 62510H bracelet. The 502B fits drilled-lug 16710 and 16760 cases produced before 1999. The 502T is designed for no-holes 16710 cases manufactured from 1999 through 2007, with a slightly different spring bar channel to accommodate the sealed lug design.

Can I put a Jubilee bracelet on a GMT-Master II 16760?

Yes. The 16760 accepts the Jubilee 62510H bracelet with 502B hollow end links. While many 16760 watches left the factory on Oyster bracelets, the Jubilee was an available configuration and fits without modification.

How do I know if my GMT-Master II has a holes case or no-holes case?

Look at the sides of the case between the lugs. If you see small drilled holes where the spring bars pass through, you have a holes case (all 16760 models and 16710 models produced before 1999). If the lug sides are smooth with no visible holes, you have a no-holes case (16710 models from 1999 onward). This distinction determines which end link codes and springbar types you need.
