    Tudor BB GMT Jubilee.

    After fitting a non- rivet bracelet to my BB Chrono, thought I'd try an Uncle Jubilee for my GMT. Bracelet came with no clasp so I could fit my OEM deployant to it. Had the choice of brushed & polished, but went hard-core & chose the fully brushed.

    Nice to retain the T fit. Any photos head-on?

    Had never heard of the bracelet until your post, my Tudor collection is down to a pelagos these days, and can’t see that suiting a jubilee!

    The fit looks fantastic, must be very pleased.

    Thanks, looking closely you realise this is not at the level of a Rolex Jubilee bracelet, but looks really nice in an everyday situation & perfectly adequate aesthetically.
    But it does give one the option to have a bracelet that doesn't have those bloomin' rivets.
    Anyway, the Pelagos has the most perfect bracelet that suits the watch to a T, so you would never need to swap out IMHO.

    The brushed finish can give it a more rugged and understated look. How does it feel on the wrist compared to the original bracelet?

    Tbh I never understood the dislike for the original rivet look bracelets, I own a black dialled 58 and in real life I never notice them, and if I do they just seem to fit with the overall design. My wife wears a blue dialled 58 daily, and I can’t say I ever notice them either. None of these aftermarket bracelets ever look quite right imho so why bother changing? - even the OG Rolex jubilee bracelets seem to stretch rather too readily so personally I’d just stick with what the watch came with?

    I too like the rivet bracelet, fits the style of the GMT perfectly. I’ve been looking for a jubilee for a change though and might try one of these. I prefer the look of the Forstner Model J but this seems to be permanently out of stock this side of the Atlantic and don’t fancy the import charges on top.

    Really like those Uncle bracelets…perfect match for Tudor BB and Ranger and gives it more of a vintage feel.

    After 24 hrs of wear, the watch has gone from rarely worn to, 'I can't take it off' category. The Uncle strap has transformed the watch for me, same as the non-rivet oyster bracelet on my BB chrono'.
    Very happy bunny indeed.

    I have the same bracelet only with the polished centre links. My watch came on a NATO and the watch is too thick for a NATO in my opinion. It’s much better on the bracelet.

    ^^^ Quite, the rivet bracelet, the NATO strap (thin) just do the BB range no favours IMHO.
    If Uncle & JB Forstner can do it, why not Tudor, which would be a step-up in quality.

    The same 'feel' of Rolex 16570 GMT on Jubilee...

    Looks really lovely- I like how the jubilee looks with a Tudor or Rolex sub or GMT
