What year did Rolex change the clasp from the old style buckle to the new hidden clasp on the jubillee bracelets? 2001 or 2002 maybe?

Greekbum what a fantastic reference library you have compiled there. Superb.

[Deyn Man]

i've seen before (easily years, might even be a decade ago), President Bracelets with a "strip" in the middle. i remember i inquired about it before and they said it was tri-color gold? or tri-gold? is this true? from the pics posted, i don't see this kind of bracelet anymore. :thinking:

[Renoir]

Great thread! :thumbsup:Thanks for the info. :cheers:

That was the "Tridor" line it was yellow, pink and white gold offered on the Day-Date President model (or in ladies case Datejust with President bracelet. I believe Rolex only offers this combination with the Masterpiece series.

Great info. :cheers:

Sorry for giving life to an old thread but I just can't seem to find the answer anywhere. I'm hoping someone will know. I's always bugged me. What is the blue-ish line that is in the middle of the centre links? It is on all the Tridor bands but I can't see the reason to why it's there. You can see it quite clearly in the photo below. Thanks.

[Astrodokk]

I would think that this thread would be a "perpetual" thread, especially since it's been made a sticky. I, for one, am glad that it is. I just found info on my 78353-19-457 Oyster band that someone told me is 14K gold, yet it shows here as 18K! Hooray!!!
I would be interested to know about the blue stripe as well...I've never seen one like that. There is a lot of good info here! Pardon my ignorance, but have you tried using alcohol to clean it off? It could be like the blue bristles on a toothbrush that the color eventually disappears and it's time for a new one. Just brainstorming. Perhaps a fashion statement? Looking forward to finding out.

[eddie_b]

What year did Rolex change the clasp from the old style buckle to the new hidden clasp on the jubillee bracelets? 2001 or 2002 maybe?

If I'm not mistaken it was 2005 when the 179 series was introduced. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Well, maybe I will kill a cat or two, but...

I believe it is just plain grey (white) gold. The reason for it to be there is not very different from the reason why the other two tones of gold are there.

Question about 36mm datejust from 2001 with no lug holes in case.
I have endlinks 558b (20mm) on oyster bracelet 78360.

I would like to know if I can put SEL endlinks on that bracelet and which one if its possible?

Thank you

Hi everyone - can anyone out there tell me what bracelet would have been originally fitted to my 1968 1019 Milgauss?
Thanks for any help you can offer, Giles

[HogwldFLTR]

On the non expansion president bracelet, B729680, how were links removed and added? Does anyone know?

Thanks,

I've trawled through the posted pics of Ladies bracelets but sadly couldn't find my watch. I'm trying to put together its history as there wasn't much that the seller could tell me; what I do have is a model number of 2158. Does anyone have a resource that would show the bracelets for this model?
Thanks in advance

Hi I’m totally new to this so I hope I’m doing this right…I’ve been researching for a cpl months now an old ladies Tudor watch all original pieces and in working order… stainless steel nothing spectacular but I recently discovered on the underside of the first link I’ll call it a very tiny stamp and it’s clear… JB CHAMPION … my jewler told me that it was probably not the original band but after reading in a cpl forums I’m not sure now?? Can anyone shed some light on this? There is also no numbers on casing n no numbers inside or on the bridge but been told it’s definitely a true Tudor!! Thanx in advance to anybody who has any insight …

[Oakleyspatz]

Can anyone tell me the ref number for the 2018 Pepsi Jubilee bracelet with oyster clasp?
Thanks all you knowledgeable lot!

[antoniocanavesio]

Hi there,

Regarding jubilee bracelet do you know when Rolex changed the clasp ??

Basicaly the 6251h (folded jubilee) was equiped with big crown clasp and later 62510H (non folded clasp ; introduced in 1975) was equiped with a classic clasp).
We can find quite a lot of 6251H with "classic buckle" do you know when exactly Rolex started to put classic buckle on the 6251H ?

cheers,

[ILuvSubs]

This is such a helpful post and echo the thoughts of others who have posted on this thread, this should definitely be a sticky. Thanks very much OP!

[SLSteve]

Can't seem to find this, but has there ever been a president-bracelet by Rolex in SS? I found one for around 650 USD but am wondering if this is correct. It looked to have some stretch and to be in need of a good polish, but still the price seemed very low. Any advice? Thinking about picking it up as I read everywhere it is very comfortable to wear.

There could never be a “President” bracelet in SS because that designation is for bracelets fitted for a Day-Date. And Day-Dates are not made in SS.

Now there is a modern Jubilee bracelet with a hidden clasp in SS that is fitted to SS GMT or DJ watches. And it looks a lot like a “President”.

The price you’re sharing sounds like it is low and could be for a replica bracelet.

Since when and for which size do they offer these jubilee bracelets with president look clasps? Really curious.

[ud101]

Educating and good thread.

[996marty]

Fantastic info thanks for posting

[Filmprolv.com]

I have searched and searched for the meanings of the markings towards the case side of my bracelet. On one end it had OR engraved which I believe stands for gold and on the opposite side has a tiny crown you can only see through the loupe with what I believe says S something than crown and the R. I noticed it not on all of them. The watch does have a service crystal I’m thing maybe it’s a new service bracelet it says S8 but that could just be August 1994 the case is E so 1991 any help would be greatly appreciated

[tigerjohn]

Could someone please give me some advice about this bracelet, as I can't see a code on the clasp itself.

Reputable dealer tells me the bracelet is 100% genuine. Has a code on the end piece though.

How does one find out about whether oyster bracelets are interchangeable between references, eg, GMT & Air King, GMT & Sub, etc? Thanks, John

[themaninblack]

I am somewhat mystified by 57 end links. I have a 6239 with a 7205 bracelet and 71 end links. I was offered a very good condition 7205 with 57’s which I thought would be good to get as a spare bracelet but the end links don’t seem to be a perfect fit. The curvature is a little off. Nevertheless I see bracelets on 6239 watches for sale with 57’s and they seem to fit in the photos. Have the end links been altered or adjusted?

[itsmesteve]

Thank you Greekbum for this post so full of useful information. With your help and that of Rolex Reference Library, I have discovered that it is possible to identify the year of manufacture of a Rolex by looking at some codes engraved on the clasp.

So far I've learned that the Clasp codes consists of letters and a number, but on my watch I can only see a letter "I", above Rolex Crown logo, there's no number along with it. May I presume, this watch was manufactured in 1984?

This is a Datejust 36, white gold, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks!
Steve

Amazing thread! Thank you!

Oysterquartz

I believe theres a diagram that shows the difference between 19018 & 19018N style oysterquartz bracelets ?

The 19018/9 (pre 1985) have chamfers, a polygonal shape, and horizontal brushing

http://yus.s3.amazonaws.com/19018-close.jpeg

The 19018/9N links (post 1985) don't have chamfers. Instead they have an oval profile and vertical brushing.

http://yus.s3.amazonaws.com/19018N-close.jpeg

I think it was from a parts catalog because you'd need to specify the right code when ordering replacements.

If anyone has this diagram and could upload here it would be greatly appreciated, thanks. :clap: :bye:

[jameslastfan]

This is really useful thread - can someone point me to a resource about this bracelet on a later 1960s DD - similar to ref 8623 but this looks smoother but from the earlier picture on the brochure the ref 8623 is not this smooth.

Any advice on purchasing this type of bracelet - prone to stretching?

Thanks v much!

Just curious to know if there’s a way to validate the clasp code on a 2013 ND Sub 114060? Mine has an ominous code of “666”.

Hi guys I had a quick question. I purchased a partially a ticketed 79200 oyster bracelet for my GMT II 126710 Pepsi that came on a jubilee. It was listed as a new take off, it looks incredible. At each end there is a three digit alpha numeric code. Can someone tell me what they mean, and are they supposed to match. One end is R3Q and the other is A9A. Thanks!

[Jilani]

Thanks for the info, this is great!

[jokgga]

are there any information on pre 1975 bracelets and clasps?

I have one that is coming from a 1970 Oyster Precision that does not have a clasp code.

Hey guys, I’m new to Rolex… i bought my first one, the Rolex Texano ref 5100, but I’m trying to source a couple extra links for the bracelet. Does Rolex still sell those special order or am i at the mercy of the open market?

Welcome to the Forum!

Would love to see a picture of the watch. Maybe open a new thread in the vintage section to show that puppy off!

I doubt Rolex would have one but it does not hurt to try.

[miamiclay]

Just as a brief DD bracelet info PSA for this thread (and so I can find it later, when I’ve forgotten) -

In another thread today* we were able to compare some catalogs, and determined that Rolex offered new Day-Dates with either the hidden clasp President bracelet (8385) or the older clasp President (7286) for at least 23 years, from 1972-94.

The hidden type may have come on the 1803 earlier than ‘72; the older type was only in YG by ‘94 and was gone by ‘96.
