- Hey All,
I just purchased an Uncle Seiko Jubilee Bracelet for my Tudor Black Bay 54! A pretty cool transformation I think. what do you think? Please put it in the comments? Does it look like a cross between a vintage Rolex Submariner and a GMT?

Made me pull the trigger on one. Thanks for the video
One of the best affordable timepieces out right now! Looks great on the jubilee.
Thanks man, I've been wearing it and I gotta say it's awesome on the jubilee. It was already super comfortable, so it's nice to have the ability to totally change the looks for a relatively small outlay.
I can’t wait mine! It’s on its way. Been waiting for 2 weeks now. I bought the one with polished center links. I have a better imagination now since I have watched this video. ❤
That looks so good! Thanks for the video, definitely going to have to do this one for my bb54
Hey thanks for watching and glad you liked the video - It's a great mod, super comfy and just oozes vintage goodness! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts when you do it 😀
Nice to hear from you, u must do more content bro😢 it's always a pleasure watching your video 😊
Magnifique superbe vidéo merci 🙏🏻
That is the coolest watch ever with that jubilee!
Looks great!
Wanted a jubilee for my BB54 and was thinking about sourcing one off a BB36 as I need the T-Fit adjustment... glad I saw this as I didn't realise you could get an Uncle Seiko one that utilises the OEM clasp.
Hi Dom, Hope you're well? Yup this is perfect solution for a very decent price :) The quality / tolerances on the end links is also bang on.
It would be very good when u do a state of collection 😁
It looks way better!
Im enjoy with my rubber strap - all seasons, all conditions, very comfortable
👌
Thanks for watching Vlady! Oooh I like the rubber strap - I think that would be great for summer - Especially on holiday! I think I need to give my AD a shout haha
Looks great on the jubilee. Can you confirm if this bracelet is compatible with the 54 on the rubber strap.
Looks superb!
Hi Nick, hope you're well? Thanks I think it really suits it. Did you end up fitting a jubilee to your 58?
@@wristshotter7832not yet but I will admit to have been browsing the Uncle Straps website since I watched your video earlier 😅
Good video, I just installed the shiny centre link version on the bb54, absoloutely love it! Wasn't too keen on the friction pins at first but after sizing it up, that's a total non issue now. The End links tolerances are brilliant, real nice tight fit.
Hey, where die you buy your bracelet from ?
@@Cookiebear_ Uncle straps - He was formally called Uncle Seiko.
Hey Tennistron, I gota agree - Uncle has done his Nephews proud lol - He's proper upped the ante for the aftermarket scene. The endlinks are definitely the best I've seen so far :) Thanks for the kind words and watching the vid!
Very nice
Other video won't show how to remove the clasp except your video. Good stuff here！
Thanks man! I just started recording and was just going to show the finished result but then during filming I thought f**k it let me see if I can make it detailed as I'm sure it's going help someone who wants to diy it. Glad it has - Thanks for watching.
Thanks for this in depth review. I've been looking for a good quality jubilee bracelet for my 54 for a while now. I couldn't find one that i was convinced of mainly because of the downgraded clasp that come with them. I love that i can use the OEM clasp on this bracelet so i will be ordering one for sure. The only problem now is to pick between the fully brushed or the half polished😂. Why did you go with the fully brushed over the half polished?
Hey MotoSjaak, thanks for watching and commenting. I love the jubilee on the 54 - The end links really do have a perfect proportion on them, I have a jubes on my Pro and 58 as well and whilst it's great on them both it's amazing on the 54, it looks oem and just gives it a different style. The compatibility with the glidelock is ace - Really is great. Brushed or half polished - It's a hard one and to be fair there's no right or wrong. I personally preferred brushed but the 54 could work very well either way. I had polished on my Pro and it did suit it and that's a proper toolish looking watch. I personally don't need my 54 to be dressy even though it's got them perfect vintage proportions and would work really well in a variety of situations (dressy, sporty & dive). As I've already got some other dressy pieces, however if I didn't then I'd probably have gone polished as this would be a very fitting alternative. I also think the 54 doesn't work that well on leather due to the smaller case size and slightly larger lug width of 20mm, unless you had an aggressive taper, it would be better on leather with 18mm or at a stretch 19mm lugs but then it would look a lot smaller when fitted with a bracelet. So in a nutshell my opinion is if you were ever going to use it dressy then go polished if not then matt is fine. Either way you go it will look great 👍
@@wristshotter7832 thanks for the reply. I ordered the fully brushed bracelet a couple of days ago. It was the safer option for me. I might even purchase the half polished bracelet in the future to switch things up
Great Video! Do u think the Original Jubilee Style Bracelet from the new Black Bay 36 works for the 54?
Hey Julian, I have no idea on this - The lug width is 19mm on the bb54, what is it on the bb36? The only way to find out is to probably try it or check the forums. Naturally Tudor oem quality will always be best but honestly uncle ain't bad for the price. Sorry I couldn't help more but if you find out please let us know, as it may help others who are in the same situation as yourself. Thanks for watching man.
Did you buy the bracelet and the conversion kit, without the clasp?
Hey man,
So i got the BB 54 on the "oyster"
BUT, after seeing this video i would like to buy the jubilee aswell!
Is this polished center links or all brushed? Does look all brushed, but wanted to ask :D
And also can i use the clasp which comes on the 54 for this?
You mention the OEM clasp in this video, but the BB 54 comes with the new T-fit clasp, can you use that?
Thanks, cheers from Denmark!
Howdy! Thanks for watching the vid. Great decision to buy one of the jubilees, it's a nice transformation and will certainly provide you with plenty of Hygge 🤗 I have the all brushed one which I like and I think it works well but either way you can't go wrong. Yes sorry the OEM clasp is the original T-fit clasp, me being a car guy - I use the term oem term for genuine manufacture parts haha. Enjoy the new look and feel of the watch when you do the mod! Wear and enjoy in good health 🙂
Would've been helpful if you had shown step-by-step of how to reinstall the spring on the first part of the bracelet. The rest looked pretty straight forward. Also, how does it feel on wrist compared to the Oyster Tudor bracelet?
Hey Solefreak, when you say the first part - Do you mean the end links? That's the bracelet part that goes in the middle of the lugs. As you mentioned it's certainly straight forward providing you've got the tools, the tiny screw driver and the link adjusting tool. To be honest, there's not much difference in the feel as the watch was already quite light, I had a decent fit and it's certainly not top heavy like a BBPro. Out of the box the BB54 wears really nice. This jubilee does have a little jingle / jangle when you take it off but that's part of the jube charm. I'd say it's perhaps a little bit more comfy-er but marginally so (not a huge difference in my opinion, also I have the T-fit), this is more of a mod that just jazzes it up. Makes it feel like a time warp and looks like a different watch. Thanks
would've been nice to see how you got the little part that flips up and down on the clasp but think I can figure it out. I'm tempted by this but want something that is more comfortable, the oem rubber strap maybe. @@wristshotter7832
I agree completely with you regarding the lug width. It should have been 18mm. It just seems out of proportion.
Thanks Chap - It's a funny one how Tudor have done the design. I need to see in the flesh how it looks on the rubber option - Seems to work well on the online images. It looks great on the jubilee but as soon as I put a leather on it - Oh no lol. Maybe one day we'll get a 52 with the 18mm 😁 Thanks for watching
Hi, in my personal opinion, without a doubt the 54 looks way better on a jubilee. congratulations on both owning a 54 and also putting it on a jub 👍. Can i ask what’s is the taper on the jub? Does it taper from a 20mm to 18? Cheers from Malaysia.
Hi Marv, Thank you for watching and commenting. I'm certainly lucky to own my 54 - It's a charming piece. If fitting to the oem clasp its 20mm lug to 16mm on the jub where it connects to the clasp. The outer part of the clasp is 18mm. Hope that helps 😀
Hi thanks. Is it t a Tudor jubilee?
Just got mine and I really like the design. However, with my 6.25” wrist, the strap is a little long for me. The links are already adjusted but still not satisfied and could not adjust it anymore since it is the last link on both sides. But one thing I really hate is the OEM clasp sits way much to the right. I mean it is not centred when you look on the clasp. It really bothers me just like how my Pelagos 39 and can not do anymore to correct the strap. Thought of destroying the fixed link on the Uncle Seiko but how?
Hey, thanks for watching the vid and commenting - Apologies for the delay in getting back to you. I like thinking of solutions and I think I have one. You will need a tool that prys the fixed links apart - I've seen people use and do it when they re-pin old Rolex jubilee and oyster videos. Maybe that tool will help you take it apart and then reduce the length of the fixed links. You'd only able to buy this tool at a proper watch maker parts store like HS Walsh or most watch maker / repair shops will have one and be able to do it for you. That's the only way I think you could solve this? Sorry I don't know the name of the tool
I’ve got the54 and thought of doing the same ,& came across this video, how much is the jubilee bracelet pls
Hi Soul, It's currently £103 if using your oem clasp on Unclestraps.com. Use the discount WIS10 and you should be able to get 10% off. You'll need to add p+p and maybe tax on top. It's definitely makes a nice change to the watch!
Whats the exact bracelet you bought? Do you have a link? 😬
Hi Andres, thanks for watching and commenting. I bought it from a website called Uncle Straps - I now have jubilees on most of my Tudors now lol. I went for the full brushed version. unclestraps.com/en-gb/collections/black-bay-54/products/standard-executive-bracelet-for-the-tudor-black-bay-54 Hope this helps and enjoy it on your watch!
Hi. Is this bracelet fit for the " NEW ' Black bay 54 ?
Hi Jeremy, Happy New Year to you and thanks for your comment. I'm not sure what you mean by new 54, it was released last year only and there's only been one version released so far. Could you clarify? Many thanks
@@wristshotter7832 thanks for Your reply. I mean the new Black Bay 54 shrinks down to 37mm in size and bracelet with the brand’s T-Fit, and with the MT5400 movement. I think its the same as your video... Thanks a lot. Good news for the bracelet :)
Hi
would you tell me if my wrist is smaller than 6.5, I was inform by Uncle Seiko your wrist is smaller than 6.5 would not fit the jubilee bracelet. thanks
Hey Anthony, I think it might be a bit of a struggle. Did he say that would also be the same if you used his own clasp? I know there's usually size restrictions if using the oem clasp. Another solution could be to take the jubilee bracelet to a jeweller / watchmaker who performs re-pinning on the old Rolex bracelets - It's a bit of a specialised job, so your typical mall / high street jeweller won't understand. They could probably take his bracelet apart and then resize it correctly for you. Hope that helps man!
Hate the stupid pins. It would be difficult for me to put a downgraded bracelet on my 54. Looks great, though.
Hey thanks for watching and commenting - I get where you're coming from and the oem bracelet config is definitely Tudors most comfortable black bay - This mod definitely doesn't noticeably improve comfort as the 54 is already superbly balanced but looks wise ahhh it's nice man 😊 Thanks again
Is the bb54 thinner than the other bb sizes?
Hey thanks for watching and commenting, yes the 54 is the thinnest Black Bay in their diving line up. I used to think that the 58 was the perfect thickness as it's very similar to a 5 digit sub. The 54 is just that bit slimmer numberwise but feels a lot slimmer especially on the jubilee. Hope that helps
@@wristshotter7832 appreciate the reply! I always thought the bb58 was a little too thick when viewed from the side. Good to see it’s slimed down for the 54.
Je peux l’acheter ou le bracelet jubilé comme le votre ?
Merci infiniment
Bonjour, thanks for your kind words - The bracelet is after market, you can buy it from a website called uncle straps. Hope this helps. Google translate: Bonjour, merci pour vos aimables paroles - Le bracelet est après-vente, vous pouvez l'acheter sur un site Web appelé oncle straps. J'espère que cela t'aides.
@@wristshotter7832merci infiniment pour votre réponse et pour votre gentillesse ❤
From which website did you buy this from ?
Hi Dominick, I bought it from Uncle Straps - www.unclestraps.com - Hope that helps and I can recommend his products.
is it a real stuff ?? just 120 dollars for bracelet I mean ??? I saw jubilee bracelet in aftermarket for 800 dollars lol@@wristshotter7832
is that an orginal braclett from tudor? how much does it costs?
Hi Cedric, the clasp is original but the bracelet isn't. You can buy it from a website called Uncle Strap for around £90 - £100. The seller's based in the USA. You can use the discount code WIS10 and save 10%. I purchased the option to use the original clasp and I'd highly recommend it. Thanks for watching and let me know if you have any other questions.
