Greetings all, does anyone know where to source an all YG jubilee bracelet? Does this even exist in the rep world? I've looked around and contacted several TDs here and what I'm hearing is that I will only find two-tone. It's been suggested that perhaps this was available a time ago but in poor quality reps.

I would like to duplicate a watch I owned years ago, a 1970s DJ in YG with jubilee bracelet. From what I've read it looks like I will have to put it together as a custom build. I think it was model 1601 perhaps? Basically this one above. No dealer has been able to source the complete item, although some are close.

Any tips ticks or advice would be greatly appreciated! This watch had sentimental value and I was a fool to sell it. Thank you!

For a 1601 YG (yellow gold) build, going gen is the only solution
The only case that is available for a franken classic 36mm datejust build is the 16200 ones, but those cases have completely different dimensions to the original 1601 case
The original 1601 case is much slimmer and lighter - I have a gen 1601 and a rep 16200 case

You can source a gen 1601 YG head (or gold plate a steel 1601 - but the colour and durability won't be the same), then source an aftermarket jubilee bracelet for it. Maybe if you message [email protected], he might have gold filled jubilee bracelet. But you will also have to modify the end links a bit because the original yellow gold (or even rarer, the white gold) 1601 only comes with that day-date style end link

Best source for a all gold Jubilee bracelet for vintage Dj 36mm is riyi.
You can get plated versions or 10 to 14J wrapped version.
