Mailman just dropped it off, and I cleaned up a Jubilee I had lying around. It's not a permanent solution, but it'll do until I decide what I want. It's a great looking piece, thank you Spencer for taking care of it for me.

Ya-know, I gota confess a liking for the much maligned jubilee strap. Nice work from Spencer too. Enjoy!

Although, this one came with a lunch money 7s26 I picked up a while back, and it needed some work. They are just a bit rattly for my taste, but it they are original to a particular model, I'm more than happy to wear them.

Looks sweet, wear it well. I've got a rattling jubilee, it drives me insane. One end link is slightly misshapen and adds to the noise. I just can't seem to fix it right.

Hi It's worth keeping an eye out for the z199 for that 7548, not much different looks wise to a normal jubilee but I think the all solid links of the Z199 make it a much nicer wear and far less rattly, although not completely rattle free wook

Also, a couple of eBay sellers have Super Jubilee bracelets. All solid links, including end links. I have one on a modded 007. No rattles.

I've been looking for years, never seen one. Tim, I owe you two fat springbars by the way. I just found them today hiding on the worktop.

No worries Spencer, I had some spares here.

Thanks Bob, I think it'll get a bit of wrist time.

Thanks Bob, I think it'll get a bit of wrist time. Quartz is great for grab and go convenience. I'd sure wear it!

It's funny, I have a 7548 at Randall Benson's right now getting an overhaul. Domed sapphire and pepsi bezel going on mine. Plus a tune up! I can't want to get mine back!

Looks great Tim. I didn't realize until seeing your photo that the Suwa symbol is at the 3 o'clock position instead of the 6 o'clock position, interesting.
