Rolex bracelet replacement cost?

Does anyone have recent cost information for obtaining a new Oyster bracelet from a Rolex Service Center? I'm looking at replacing the bracelet on an Explorer II 16570 watch. Thanks,

Depends on the bracelet. They run about 1200USD, exchange.

I forget the bracelet model number, but I think they quoted me $1350 for the fliplock Oyster bracelet for my 16710. I ended up going with the jubilee for $1150.

Hi Jim, I was recently quoted £950 by St James London RSC for a 93150 Bracelet,

After careful consideration, I purchased a pre-owned one and I'm looking to have it refurbished, which will come back as new and work out considerably less than a new one.

Is the $1150 for jubilee with the trade in of the old bracelet?

I asked over the phone if I could keep the oyster and they said yes but I still had to send it for some reason. In the quote they stated I requested to keep it and that they’ll return it. I hopefully should be getting it back next week so we’ll see.

Paid 1350 for oyster bracelet and news to me but they did away with the trade in credit and trade ins altogether. My understanding was that they wanted to keep the parts off the external market by not allowing you to keep your old bracelet, but who knows now. Anyway what does one do with an extra oyster bracelet and no home for it?

Anyone purchase a two tone YG Oyster bracelet from RSC? Curious to know cost as the AD had no ballpark. Getting it anyway since it’s for my father’s 1960s era Explorer but no idea what it’s going to cost me.

Correction: I confused the above. I paid 2068 for a new oyster bracelet (1350 is what I had originally discussed with them but not what made
it to my estimate). Moved

Can’t speak to TT, but the full gold is about $16k. I know because I bought a glidelock and was happy I didn’t have to buy the entire bracelet.

Was thinking about getting an Oyster bracelet for my 1675/3 through Rolex and they quoted $3400. That was a year ago and not including tax.

Hi mate, did you just walk straight in or did you have to call up for this?
I’m in London too and wanted to go there sometime
