Jubilee vs Oyster Factory Size
Do watches on jubilee bracelet ship from the factory with the same size bracelets? My wrist is approx 210mm.
Every Rolex oyster I have fits well after sizing but I have purchased a brand new and unsized BLNR from a grey dealer completely unsized and it appears that I might need an extension put on the jubilee. Even with the easylink extender fully extended the watch just about fits. The inner clasp is on the middle dimple so there in one more notch here also. Can jubilee be extended ? Do ADs carry bracelet spares ? Ta |

Most AD's will have a link, or a link and a half, in order to size customer purchases.

ADs have jubilee half links readily available for this. I got one for my fathers watch last year.

My wrist is also over 8 inches, and I had to order an extra link for my Pepsi. I could make it fit stock, with the easylink extended, but it was very tight and uncomfortable on a hot day.
In my experience the jubilee bracelets are shorter than the oyster bracelets. The only oyster bracelet I had a problem with was my Sky Dweller, which for some reason comes shorter than the other oysters. I had to order an extra link for that one as well. Also, the president bracelet is shorter than the oysters. I had to order extra links for my DD40s. The prices weren't too bad, especially for the steel bracelets. I think around $60 for a full size steel link. |
