Fitting a Jubilee bracelet Tudor Black Bay 54 - Guide and Overview Uncle Seiko

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?

    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.

    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 👍

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!

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!

    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

    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

    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!
