Rolex 1803 Day-Date Bracelet Question

Hello everyone,

Quick question- I recently acquired the below WG 1803. The bracelet fits snugly, but I would like to buy another link for a more comfortable fit. Can these links still be purchased through an authorized dealer, or broker still? Additionally, what's the going rate for the extra link?

Thanks in advance,
J

I don’t really know these at all but its a modern bracelet. Should be easy to source a link. Find the bracelet number and do a search or take it to a RSC.

Those hands were only used for about one year around 63-64, no major extra value but very nice to have. Make sure they don't get replaced. :)

Congrats on the great pick-up - welcome to the WG 1803 club!
I contacted the RSC to get some extra links for my WG 1803 bracelet. They're still available, and the quote was 600 USD per link.
I ended up finding some decent ones from a trusted seller here for a much better price, but spare 1803 WG links in good condition are like hen's teeth. Good luck!
