7835 Bracelet

[FreshPrince14]

Hi guys, not sure if this is the correct section but I’m wondering if someone can help me out regarding the 7835 bracelet from my 1972 Oysterdate 6694. I’m looking for an extra link but I’m a bit confused regarding the size of the link I need. By looking at the bracelet it is clear where the link is missing from but I’m not sure how the sizing works. I see links listed as 13mm or 12mm but I’m unsure which part of the link I’m supposed to be measuring here.. I’ve attached a few photos



Here you can see the different lengths in each side of the bracelet



And here you can see that I appear to be missing a link between the last and second last link. As there is a sudden drop in width between the two links, instead of a gradual difference. So I’m wondering which part of the link should be measured here in order to determine which size I need, the wider or the narrower part. All help appreciated

A full bracelet has 6 links on one side and 7 on the other, excluding the lug pieces.

The easiest way to find the size of the next link down is to just measure the width of the link before the missing one (the narrower part). This would be the widest point of the missing link as they taper down.

Thanks for the quick response! That’s perfect. Wasn’t sure if the measurement was to be taken from the top or bottom of the missing link. Looks like I need a 13mm then. Cheers!
