I inherited my grandfather’s 1603 Datejust from the late 70’s. The jubilee bracelet is pretty beat and the clasp doesn’t secure. I’m considering either sourcing another bracelet or having it fixed. What are my options for both, any suggestions of where to turn?

Send it to Mike at Rolliworks. He just serviced my 1972 1603 (including rework of the significantly stretched Rolex USA oval link jubilee). The workmanship was excellent.

I third that Rolliworks does top notch bracelet restore.

Rilliworks did a good job on my '84 1603 bracelet.

Did anyone say Rolliworks? Haha but really, they’re it when it comes to band repairs. Look at mikerolliworks on Instagram if you wanna see some band repair porn.

If the clasp is not securing, the blades of the deployant need to be adjusted. 30 second job.

Put a little more "bow" in the blade closest to the clasp, effectively shortening it and it will snap over the other blade as designed.

If the jubilee is too stretched and pricing of restoration is too high and not worth it, just hunt for another on ebay.
