Hey guys. I really need some help tracking down a link. I bought a couple of watches this year and 1 of them is a beautiful 16808 with factory diamond dial (not a serti). I haven’t had a chance to look it over until the other day. I removed the diver extension which has the bracelet connector riveted to it. I removed it because I don’t need it and I have small wrists. To get it sized correctly the extension had to go.

Not wanting to drill rivets out or perform “work” I want a solid gold bracelet connector link. I can’t find one anywhere. Amazon has gold colored ones, but nothing solid gold and nothing oem Rolex. I can forgo oem Rolex, but I need solid gold at a minimum. I was going to have Rolliworks do the work, but they can’t find a connector either. We are all chasing a unicorn.

Does anyone know of a good parts supplier I can try other than the eBay crowd? Anyone on here have one they want to sell? The nuclear option is a new bracelet, but at 10k I would rather not.
