Rolex

Bill has asked me to do some research about Rolex bracelets, I imagine others will be interested...

Sorry for the lack of credits, I can't remember who has built this table.

Hi Jeff,

Can you confirm that the option 1-2-3 means that all are valid for the model in question regardless of the year of the watch.  I would imagine that option1 is the earliest and option three is the newest.  Again, a riveted bracelet has a more vintage and time appropriate look for the 60's and so on.

What are your thoughts.

Now I have to find the surprise with which bracelet I overpaid and is the wrong one.

Oh well maybe I will get lucky this time.

thanks

Bill

Yes exactly. I am currently working on something more detailed for each model. Nevertheless, if you tell me the issue year of your watch, I can try to figure out the "original" bracelet. Some informations are already in the 5513 table of the blog post.

Cheers

Hi Jeff,

How does or should one attempt to resize.  It seems you have to bend the links to remove a link and then bend it back.  What is the best practice for doing this.  Any pictures would help explain.

Thanks

Bill

It seems you have to bend the links to remove a link and then bend it back.

Yes I'm afraid that's the only way. You must not "open" the link too much though (just enough to remove it), or else you will see a "bending" mark on the other side of the bracelet.

I should make a tutorial for that....good idea !

I am looking forward to the tutorial to what tools I should use.

Bill

not too small...stay tuned...
