Not so sure about that. Thinking the same thing, I bought a 20mm two-tone Jubilee to use on a 116713 GMT and it didn’t fit.Any 20mm “should” work. I had a Raffles one and it didn’t fit well. But a good one should fit just fine.

I know you said “should” which is why I said “not so sure”. We sound like a couple of lawyers.I did say “should”.
Most people put 6 digit bracelets on 5 digits without issue. Where did you get the bracelet from? The biggest issue is usually the curve of the bracelet at the end link. That’s what made the Raffles one not fit well.

I bought the bracelet on AliExpress which is always iffy. It actually looks nice and is still in plastic if someone wants it cheap. The problem was the SELs fit OK but didn’t line up with the lug holes. I think it could be made to work but I sold the watch before getting around to it.
I just bought an ARF and it was $380 shipped.not quite, ARF 4xx Benjamins - BP 3xx Benjamins, value ratio still with BP , imagine if they all had also the VR![]()

Main reason I went with ARFWish they made a no rehaut version
Love the serti. Just wanna buy a 16613 and have to make my dicision between BP and ARF.I put a 6 digit BP TT bracelet on a 5 digit BP case. The fit was perfect. Kept the Glidelock as I love them.

Outside of gen, what is my best option to upgrade the BP insert for the LV?Jubilee bracelet pairs perfectly with the Kermit![]()
Sillan on Alibaba sells the ARF insert.Outside of gen, what is my best option to upgrade the BP insert for the LV?
I like the ARF flat 4 insert in mine and I think Horologear https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2256932...gFFbN93Tna&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY do a good one too, not sure of the fit though..Outside of gen, what is my best option to upgrade the BP insert for the LV?
Measure the OD of your gen insert bro.Love the serti. Just wanna buy a 16613 and have to make my dicision between BP and ARF.
I have gen insert but as far as I understand with some work it will fit the BP bezel too ?
Does anyone know if there is a 16613 with this serti dial available at the moment ?
I did measured gen dial is smaller, didn’t note sorry, to fit gen dial I put a thin rubber ring between BP dial gasket and seating date that make gen dial stay most in the center.I think it's unlikely they would have changed the dial supplier or commissioned a new dial. But AFAIK no one has actually measured one of the new release dials or tried a gen dial fit in this new batch.
That doesn't look bad in that pic. The fit is SOOO close that it would take a clear, very close up pic to see the dial edge. But I think it's still not optimal if flawless is the goal.I did measured gen dial is smaller, didn’t note sorry, to fit gen dial I put a thin rubber ring between BP dial gasket and seating date that make gen dial stay most in the center.

A bit maddening that they are sooooo close to getting it right thoughThat doesn't look bad in that pic. The fit is SOOO close that it would take a clear, very close up pic to see the dial edge. But I think it's still not optimal if flawless is the goal.
Gen GMT dial (same OD as Sub) in a previous batch BP 3135
