Rolex Beta Quartz 5100 White Gold

I am looking to buy extra links for my bracelet. Will pay top dollar for up to 4 pieces.

You ought to post this in the classifieds as a Want To Buy (WTB).

That requires a Pledge Membership.

Gosh, that's going to be a challenge. You've be very, very lucky indeed to find extra links, in any condition, for such a rare bracelet, and even more so for four links in white gold.

It's also integrated, so dealers don't part-out the bracelets to make extra cash like they do with President bracelets.

I'd contact Rolex and see if they can help. Good luck with it. Realistically you might need to go aftermarket - these links just don't exist, unless you find another WG 5100 (among the 300 in existence) and cannibalize the bracelet.

A guy made custom platinum endlinks for his Datograph to adapt a previous generation original platinum bracelet using 3D printing. With modern technology everything is possible if money is no object.

Excellent suggestions. Probably your only hope. #Unobtanium

I'd plan on paying at least a grand USD for each custom-made WG link, though. As a ballpark, Rolex charges 600 USD+ for a WG President link.

I don't have a problem with replacement bracelets. I enjoy something solid rather than a rattly old original that could fall apart at any time and lose me the watch. The old bracelet goes in the safe.

Some people prefer the feel of the original, though. Different strokes...

So you didn't get the bracelet?
