Hi WC,

I use nail pull pliers, i can grip onto the centre of the pin that hasn't worn away and allows for leverage to pull it out. if i gripped the worn parts it would just snap and then its game over.

All the best

To be clear - yours is a pin-only replacement operation, correct? What do you do about the gold loops that are worn dangerously thin, replace with new as necessary?

Trust all community members are keeping well.

Just to advise I can turn this repair over in a week if anyone from the UK is interested.

Many thanks

Oliver

Guys don’t wait 10-20 weeks from other businesses that offer this service in the UK.

I can turn this around in 1-2 days. That’s what I call speedy service.

Trust in me to rejuvenate your bracelet.

All the best

Oliver

Nice work! Would you be willing to divulge what the pin measurements are, and from where you purchased them?

Hi Mate, I can't tell you what size pins are required as every time i open these bracelets up they all seem to be different, Classic Rolex not keeping it consistent. however i can say they range from 12mm to 14mm.

Hope that helps.

Thanks

That's fine work sir. I've my eye on a 126231, trying to decide between the jubilee or the oyster. I think the oyster would be much sturdier

Uniform spacing throughout!!! Don't wait 16-20 weeks from other people here in the UK. Trust in me for a 1-2 day turn around.

Hey all!

Just a shout out to Oliver who recently worked on my jubilee from my recently purchased 1988 Datejust. I sent him the bracelet based on this this thread and a good chat back and forth on the phone. You can see the work in his photos two posts above - mines the steel and as you can see was pretty shot. The work was incredible and the results speak for themselves - I now have a strap to match the watch (which itself was in great condition). Oliver got this done and back to me within 1 week and communication was great throughout.

Highly recommended !
