Rolex GMT Ceramic Glidelock Bracelet Guide

I prefer satin finish over the polished center links. for some reason my eyes like it better . Less flashy.

Add to that the fact that  "rumors" said that oyster won't fit the jubilee version and vice versa.

So here's a photo guide of how to change the jubilee to oyster in any of the Rolex GMT ceramic, be it  Pepsi, Bateman or Lefty (BLRO, BLNR, VTNR) .

1. Use a tape to PROTECT the lugs from scratches.

2. REMOVE the jubilee bracelet.

3. Take the SPRING BARS from the Jubilee bracelet and use them for the Oyster bracelet.

4. Fit the Oyster in place. 

Its that easy!

In the photos you can see both bracelets attached, as a visual ref. 

Note:

During the process, before the end link is fully attached, you may think it has some “gap” and it “moves”. This will vanish when you fully connect it l.

I used the bracelet REF 97200A. This is the bracelet from the Submariner “40” mm, reference 11xxxx. 

The bonus, you get the Glidelock system,  allowing fine adjustments of the bracelet without using any tools.

Notes: 

1. Rolex usually service a watch in a configuration it was made by them, I suggest replacing it back before service.

2. For reference, my wrist is 6.5
