Extending Strap

[Groover]

Hi! I am interested in purchasing this vintage Rolex for my wife, however the strap will need some extension. The seller does not know the model number.

What options do I have, if any?

I know that for other models like DateJust, Oyster, etc. individual links can be purchased. What about for this one?

Could a jeweller extend this type of strap?

Many thanks! Andy

The only option is a new strap

Finding links to add to it would be practically impossible, but extensions can be made to the clasp. I have done this many times.

As mentioned above, the simplest solution would be a clasp extender. I don't think you showed a photo of the clasp, but this is the type of thing I'm referring to:

I wouldn't buy from a seller who doesn't know what model it is. Either way, this one's a bit antique (read: little value) rather than vintage (read: plenty of value).

If you really want to show your love and make her wrist fizz, get her a nice Rolex Datejust 1601 with the 36 mm case, or if that's too big, a Rolex Date 1500 model with the 34 mm case.
