Icon20 Jubilee Bracelet Length

I ordered a 126333-016 41 Datejust gold/stainless, fluted bezel, jubilee bracelet, white face, a couple of weeks ago. I asked the AD if I should order additional links since I have an 8" wrist. He said that they are sized so that 99% of wearers can either wear them or need them shortened. Rolex doesn't publish the length. A link isn't cheap, and is non-returnable. If I need a link they can get one in a few weeks.
Really? Not even a dealer knows how long they are?
I tried on a Tudor 41. It fit perfectly.
I saw a Scottish dealer video review of the 41 datejust with an Oyster bracelet. The reviewed put it on. He said he had an 8" wrist and that it fit just right.
An ebay seller of a stainless jubilee bracelet for a 41 said that it would fit up to a 7.5" wrist.
I have tried in vain to find length information on the internet. I'd rather not, after waiting up to a year for the watch, to go to the AD and find I need to order link(s). Is there no one who can lay a similar watch flat with no links removed and put a ruler next to it?
Please?
Scott

Thank you!

In inches that's 8.070866, which confirms to me that it will fit as the Tudor did, just right with no links removed for my 8" wrist.

My guess is that you’ll need additional links. I have a 7” wrist and only removed 2 links on my BLRO.

Overthinking it while waiting

Then the question is, how much does a link add?

I'm content at this point to just see. The Spanish poster saying the length with watch is 20.5 cm, that equals 8 inches. I am going by my wife helping me with a taylor's cloth tape. My other watches are all leather bands and from hole to prong end measuring the band came out to even longer: 8 1/4 to 9."

I'm also thinking that, since it's the same company, the Tudor 41 was an exact for me fit out of the box. And, the Scottish guy with an Oyster bracelet DateJust showed how it fit his 8" wrist out of the box. Not Jubilee, but would they really change lengths for the Oyster?

I can't post links yet, but if you go to youtube and search for Rolex Datejust 41 126334 Review Edinburgh Watch Company, and click on the image of the guy in the blue sweater, AND forward to 4:45 you can see what I mean.

I have an 8” wrist, I had a SS DJ41 on Jubilee, that fitted without the addition of links.

Interesting, that I’ve replaced the DJ41 with a SS SkyD on Jubilee, that needs a link to be added to make it fit.

I have purchased 4 Rolex's from an AD and each one required 2 links to be added. This was done with very little wait time and no additional costs.

I also have an 8 inch wrist. Any Rolex I have ordered with jubilee, I have always ordered with one extra link. AD’s have provided at no additional cost.

I had to add a link in four different Oyster bracelets over the years. Last year I was surprised when I to remove a link in my new 114060. The GlideLock is much wider.

DJ41 should just fit an 8" wrist. You may need to use spring bar tweezers to bring the micro adjust in the clasp out (or use the easy link).

Yes, I have a 7.5” and didn’t remove (or add) any links on my BLRO jubilee. OP might need to add 2 links if the bracelet fits the same on datejust.

Just bought a DJ41 and I have a 6.75" wrist. When I first put the watch on, I was very surprised on how close the bracelet fit. I ended up taking out 2 links and it fits perfectly. I don't see how the standard jubilee would fit an 8" wrist without extra links.
