I'm in California and Rolliworks is in San Fran. Seemed like the obvious choice to me.
Rolliworks is now in Campbell, CA. I had good luck with them for my DJ bracelet stretch.

Thanks, that seems reasonable and not too different from MY.

Extra links on EBAY right now. I have no idea if it's a good price for your bracelet but they are folded links in two tone for a vintage Datejust. Definitely ask about the width here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mens-Rolex-...ty!91311!US!-1

No thinking necessary. Pick up the phone and talk to Michael Hui at Rolliworks in the SF Bay area. *(408-800-3244‬)

I recently bought a 5513 from Michael Morgan (also a great guy!, and a great watch!), but he didn't have the appropriate 1968 rivet. Rolliworks happened to have EXACTLY the same quarter and year Swiss rivet bracelet that he sold me for a fair price. In fact, when I drove down there to meet him, he had 3 of the 1968 bracelets to choose from - - an American CI, a Swiss stretch-type, and the one that I bought. Amazing place.

More importantly, he did some other work on 3 of my watches and they are AWESOME! His prices are good, and he's very approachable. As I said . . . pick up the phone and chat with him!

Good luck on the Jubilee !
