Jubilee Bracelet Good Deal?

[Newbie2277]

I have a 16013 on leather that I love, but looking to add a jubilee bracelet. Is $1750 a decent price on a like new, Rolex, 15 link jubilee for 16013 two-tone 18k? Coming from Rolliworks.

If this is the TT version of a 62510H, then full length is 22 links IIRC, so that is crazy short. Can't help you with price, since I'm only familiar with SS bracelets.

That's what I was thinking. It's 17 if you include the end links. I'm sure it'd probably fit my wrist and honestly, at about $100 or more per link I'd rather not spend an extra $700+ for links to sit in a drawer.

Dan is spot on with the links. Should have 22 links, and end links are not included in that count. The price is not bad if it had 19-20 links and not in too bad condition. I think the TT version is a 62523H-18K for your model and should have 455 B end links. post some pics to get some real feedback on price, condition and authenticity. Hopefully experts will chime in as I am not one but I was trying to figure out what I should get for my TT GMT at one point…

Thanks! It's from Rolliworks so I'm sure it'll be in nice condition.

Yes, I imagine it will be completely refurbished and polished quite nicely. Still 15 links is quite short. Here is one I found on EBAY, although I cannot vouch for authenticity, condition, nor am I recommending you buy it—20 links. https://www.ebay.com/itm/144122135895 I think new from Rolex, it's about $3600. Good luck in the search, that is the fun part!

Thanks! Looks like it's $1850 so only $100 more. I'm guessing to get it in comparable condition (stretch fixed, polish, etc) I'd be all in around $2200 for the 20 link version. So basically around $450 more for 5 extra links. I'm thinking if those 5 extra links just sit in a drawer, it's a better deal for the 15 link. I "think" it'll fit but I'll have to measure and call Rolliworks to get the wrist size. You're right though, the hunt is definitely part of the fun!

The bracelet is way short on links. As mentioned in another post, it should have 22 links. Expect to pay $75 to $100 per extra link that you need.

The bracelet is over-priced in the condition it is in now.

Thanks, I think that's a photo of the "before" condition. I've emailed to confirm it's only 15 links so I'll see what they say. I'm female with what I'd say is an average sized wrist so I don't know if it'd fit or not. Another question for them tomorrow.

Welcome to the forum.

They are both very expensive tbh. In the UK I have bought about half a dozen 62523h's in the last 2 years and never paid more than £600 for reasonably used one.

Tbh they stretch a smidge because the gold is softer than steel...; having said that steel ones stretch a bit too, as so many (close to 100) moving parts on a Jubillee bracelet.

I actually like a little bit of stretch, make watch v comfy). The last one I bought with a bit of stretch from Watchfinder was £475 in Oct.

You only have to look at the cost of a 60/70/80s 36 mm Datejusts in either full steel on a bracelet or in bi-colour/two tone steel and gold on a bracelet (they go for about parity btw) to conclude the bracelet should be circa the steel (ref 62510h) cost imho. Rgds P.

Update: The link with the photo was just sent to me so I could get an idea of what it'd look like, it's not the actual bracelet. The one I'd be purchasing has 18 links, I'm female and am sure it'd fit. It'll be in top shape by Rolliworks, ready to wear.
