Rolex Superjubilee 63600 Complete Guide
The Rolex Superjubilee reference 63600 has in the last two years become a highly sought-after bracelet for many Rolex owners. The bracelet was originally sold on the Rolex Datejust 36mm reference 116234 and 116200 and is a special jubilee bracelet, often known as “Super Jubilee”, because of its hidden crown clasp.
But what makes this particular bracelet so special and why is it so highly sought after? Let’s take a closer look at why the Rolex Superjubille Bracelet Reference 63600 is the best jubilee bracelet on the market.
Rolex Datejust 36mm Reference 116234 & 116200
The 36mm Datejust with the Superjubilee bracelet first came in 2007 and was the first 6-digit reference Datejust on the market. Until now, the Jubilee bracelets that were previously used was the jubilee bracelet which we today recognized for being famous for the stretch which tends to come naturally after a few years of wear.
The previous reference Datejusts in stainless steel 16234 or 16200 were equipped with the jubilee bracelet reference 62510. When the first 6-digit reference Datejust was presented, a huge improvement was of course the bracelet, which for the first time for a stainless steel watch had a hidden clasp construction, but also a construction that was substantially more rugged and well-constructed than the previous. The focus for Rolex was of course to make it more durable and long-lasting. In other words, to minimize stretch over the years.
One small downside of the hidden clasp function of the Rolex Superjubilee bracelet reference 63600 is that it does not offer any micro-adjusting in the clasp, which the previous generation jubilee bracelet could. When the Rolex Datejust 116234 & 116200 was discontinued in 2018 and replaced with the new Datejust reference 126234 and 126200 (in stainless steel) the bracelet was once again given a new construction, similar to the super jubilee bracelet, but now instead had an “ordinary” Oyster clasp which was improved with micro-adjustments but also an easy-link extension function.
This meant that the elegant construction of the Superjubilee bracelet reference 63600 which had a hidden crown clasp no longer existed. When this was announced in 2018, Rolex at the same time decided to give new guidelines for Authorized Retailers on how they were allowed to sell spare parts.
This resulted in a strict policy that made it a lot harder to purchase spare parts such as dials and bracelets, for a watch that you did not own, or, for watches that were not meant to have certain parts.
This meant, that if you wish to purchase a Superjubilee bracelet reference 63600 from a Rolex Authorized Dealer you would be required to bring the model with you to the Authorized Rolex Dealer and have them install the bracelet on your watch. This might not seem like a big issue as it might sound completely normal, why would you want to have a bracelet, in this case, a Superjubilee reference 63600, if you do not own the watch it was meant for?
Obviously, the policies regarding sales of spare parts from Rolex authorized dealers vary a lot. Some stores will not sell you a spare bracelet, others will require you to bring your watch (which has to be correct for the bracelet), and a small portion will sell the bracelet downright without any questions.
What this restriction of Rolex parts and bracelets does is make it more difficult to get access to them. Both if you try directly from an official retailer, but also if you look at the secondhand market.
Superjubilee Reference 63600 Fits Almost Any Rolex
What’s so special about the Rolex Superjubilee is that it fits almost any Rolex, no matter if it’s a 5-digit or 6-digit reference, which makes it possible to have the bracelet installed on a GMT Master II reference 116710BLNR for example. In some cases, you just need to change the spring bar in order to get a perfect fit.
In 2018 when Rolex presented the GMT Master II reference 126710BLNR, commonly known as batgirl/batman with jubilee bracelet, the thought of just equipping the previous GMT Master II 116710BLNR with a Jubilee bracelet (which was sold with an Oyster bracelet) was appealing to a lot of owners for that model.
This small change would make the GMT master II look like the newest model at first glance, and the process of doing so is very simple, just swap the Oyster bracelet for a Jubilee bracelet. If you were to have the same construction of jubilee, the only appropriate jubilee bracelet which you could install would be the Superjubilee reference 63600.
This caused the bracelet to be trendy, and the demand for this particular spare bracelet became huge. What happened to the bracelet, is similar to what’s happening with all the popular sports models which sell over the recommended retail price as the demand for this particular bracelet is higher than the supply, and with the difficulty of buying one directly from an Authorized Dealer, the only possible place to get this bracelet would be at the second-hand market.
Some of the watches that the Superjubilee 63600 fits are:
- 116610LN
- 114060
- 116610LV
- 116710LN
- 116710BLNR

- 16710
- 214270
- 116520
- 16610

(And of course, gold/gold and steel variants of the above, if you prefer.
NOTE: as mentioned, you may need different spring bars to make the bracelet fit.

Hi,
I am trying to find a super jubilee for my root beer(126711CHNR).
But not easy to get a jubilee bracelet only due to super low entity in the market.
So, I am going to buy a 36mm datejust for this conversion.
My question is which datejust model do I have to buy?
Also want to know. Can I replace my oyster-lock safety clasp from 126711CHNR on 63600 super jubilee?
Thanks for great information!!
Hi,
The 116231 Jubilee will fit. In regards to your question about the clasp, no, it is not possible to replace the Oysterlock clasp with the crown clasp on the Superjubilee.
Kind regards,
Millenary Watches
Thank you for answering.
Do you think 126231 won’t fit on root beer ? Why? Different lughole?
Hi I Have a 2018 GMT II BLACK KIT I know this model only comes on oyster bracelets but I would love to put a jubilee one on it do you no what one I can get to fit it? I was told the Batgirl & Pepsi won’t fot it due to the lug holes is this ture do you know?
Hi,
You can absolutely fit the 63600 on the 116710LN. Just keep in mind you may have to use different spring bars but this is a relatively easy fix.

question: I have the 116264 with the 63600 bracelet and stick numers.. I scratched the magnifier on the glass. Last time I had it cleaned (I also heard a weird whirring noise if I moved my arm fast so I wanted to get it in before the warranty was up in case it was breaking). It was a fortune to send it (insurance) and the bill was $825! Im sorry but how are you supposed to get your watch serviced everything 3-4 years at that price. they said the face needed to be replaced b/c the numbers didn’t glow anymore (which they stop glowing after 6 mos). I would like just the glass replaced. Do you have an idea of what it might cost? And what is the going rate for this watch? I don’t have the receipt for it but its from Dec 2014. Is discontinued good for the value of my watch? Also there are slight dents in the bezel–but its 18K gold so it is soft. Do I need to replace that too?
Sorry for the long message!
I hope you can help!
Hi Michelle,
Today, Rolex has a recommended service interval of 5 to 10 years depending on the model. But if you don’t experience any issues with the watch and it is keeping good time, you can even wait longer than that until servicing it.
The 116262 uses Suerluminova which means it is photoluminescent. This means that it glows after having been “charged” with light, for example from sunlight or a lamp. As such, there is no need to replace the numbers Just use a flashlight. Rolex has stopped using tritium which is instead radioactive so the issue of having the lume slowly fade over time is not an issue anymore. It is not correct that the numbers stop glowing after 6 months, even for a Rolex that uses tritium, which yours doesn’t! Even if it would use tritium (which is doesn’t), it has a half-life of 12 years so after 12 years, it would have half of the glowing capacity as it originally had. But as stated, yours use Superluminova which doesn’t have a half-life at all as it is photoluminescent.
Changing the glass on a Rolex watch is relatively affordable. Usually around 100-300 dollars.
The price for a 116264 without the original box and certificate is around 6000 to 7000 USD. Yes, this watch has increased in popularity ver the years and as it is one of few “turn-o-graph” models from Rolex, it is considered a classic.
Moreover, the bezel is rarely replaced on a Rolex watch unless it is heavily damaged. Instead, it is just polished. This is because the bezel is quite expensive so it makes no sense to replace it.
Hope it helps!

I have a 6-digit 2005 model 116233, I am new to owning a Rolex but I think this model has the super jubilee band you described? I am having difficulty finding the proper links, what measurements or bracelet reference code should I be searching. I have already purchased and returned 2 links that did not fit, but they were listed to fit my 116233. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
This article was super informative!
Hi,
The super jubilee bracelet for the 116233 has the reference number 63603. The individual links have the part number 32-23074
Kind regards,
Millenary Watches
I have a 126200 model. will the The 63603 super jubilee bracelet fit?
Hi,
No, the Superjubilee does unfortunately not fit the 1262XX reference as there is a “tongue” construction for the case/bracelet of its bracelet.
Kind regards,
Millenary Watches
Hi, thanks for reply. Owning a 126200 model. Am considering for a jubilee to swap with my current oyster bracelet. Does that meant to say I could only sought for the same model 1262XX in jubilee bracelet(unsure of model number)? Or is there other jubilee bracelet models possible for this swap? Not sure if this had been answered before. Hope you can help! Thanks:)
Does it fit a GMT 16710 Z Serial from 2007?
Right out of the box
My dealer is telling me that I would have to make adjustments to the bracelet as it does not fit perfectly and depending on how those adjustments are made it could damage the case. Scratch it etc.
Hi,
Yes, this bracelet fits. You don’t have to make any adjustment to the bracelet or case. The only thing you may need to adjust is the spring bars so that they fit the case properly. But if the bracelet change is done with the proper tools and by someone who knows that they are doing, this is not something that will damage the case.
Perhaps they have had experience with watches that have lug holes but if it’s a 2007 it should not have lug holes. With lug holes, it’s a lot more difficult to get the bracelet to fit.
Kind regards,

Hi, will a 63600 super jubilee band fit on a 16234 datejust? Thank you!
Hi,
Unfortunately not as the 63600 has a “tongue”. You will need a 62510H bracelet.
Kind regards,
Millenary Watches
Thanks to this article providing the details that triggered my purchase of the 116234 to get hold of this super jubilee bracelet. One thing to call out is that for the 63200 version of this super jubilee, it is not small wrist friendly (e.g. my wrist size is 15.5cm but i have to remove all “removable” links and it is still a little bit loose), best is to get the 63600 which i heard could remove a few more links to fit smaller wrist.
For the 16570, it actually also fit the one with drilled lug hole, that I have personally tried and it works okay (but you need to use the original spring bar of the 16570 to fit into this super jubilee.
Glad you found it helpful!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience. Yes, that is absolutely some good points!

Hi! Thanks for all the insight about the Super Jubilee 63200! Just curious what the retail & fair market value is on the bracelet. I know someone who can get one direct from Rolex Service. Thx in advance!
Hi
The retail price for the 63200 is about 2000 USD. The secondhand price tends to be slightly higher due to the difficulty of finding them.
