Vintage Datejust 1601

Hi all, i have acquired a 1601 Datejust serial No: 404*** which makes it 1974.
The case lugs are 20mm apart.
I have been offered a 62510H MA4 Jubilee bracelet as new condition, but 19mm.
Would you risk fitting it to this watch please, thanks .

There's no "risk" if you use 20 mm pins, but I've seen this done and the gaps are pretty noticable.

Très ghetto, IM(not so)HO.

I'd hold out for a 20 mm band...

455 comes to mind.

Not sure if the cener link is the same size; if so it would help, if not you would have the same gap issue, just at the end link/band juncture.

Still ghetto...
