What Should I do if I lost my original bracelet ?

Is it possible for me to buy a new original bracelet from Rolex ?

Don’t see why you couldn’t. If you have difficulty with ordering from RSC, call one of the trusted sellers here. They can probably help.

I know it's terminology, but original means the one that came with it, so no, you cannot buy an "original" bracelet.

You should be able to buy an authentic bracelet from any Dealer, but you likely need to take it in for a serial number match for a proper replacement.

The RSC seems to require a full service if you want to buy a part any more. This drives the price up considerably.

Another option is to check secondary (used) sellers in the marketplace. There are a lot of fakes and scams, so ensure the seller is reliable.

My understanding is that RSC only will do an exchange

How did you “lose” your original bracelet?

It seems there are more posts lately which seem to look to “game the system”

Just IMHO

Game the system. While unlikely for me to lose a bracelet, I could see how it could happen.

As far a gaming the system, Rolex is to blame. Let people buy the damn parts they want.

I would love to get a glidelock clasp for my Explorer II, but no Rolex won't allow. Kind of stupid if you ask me.

Easy, take the watch and put a leather or rubber strap on it and totally forget where the bracelet is or got to.

I would have said the same thing until last week. Decided to put my 78350 Oyster bracelet back on my 14000M Air King after having had a Super Jubilee Replica on for a while. Couldn’t find the bloody thing anywhere I would have normally stored it. Finally found it yesterday totally by accident, somewhere where I would never have guessed!

Send the watch only to RSC for a service without the bracelet. RSC will require you purchase a bracelet to go along with the service.

Step 1. Find bracelet

Step 2. Attach found bracelet to original watch

Step 3. Attach watch and bracelet (now rejoined as one) to wrist of choice.

Step 4. Carry on.
