Bracelet adjustment in Jacksonville?
Hi All,
In a few days a friend of mine is getting his first nice watch, a Tudor Pelagos. Any recommendations on watchmakers or jewelry stores in Jacksonville, FL he can take it to get the bracelet fitted? Any help is much appreciated. -GW |

Bracelet sizing is a DIY job. But the Rolex AD can do it no problem.

Underwood's Jewelers is an AD and has several locations around town.

As Grant said, bracelet sizing is DIY. It requires very basic tools and once you do it the first time, it will take you a few minutes in the future. Very little can go wrong if you have the right tools. Of course any local AD will do it as well. Some do it for free and some charge.

Underwoods or Mayors are official Rolex AD and should size for free. You can always go to Espling though. They actually service Rolex and any other Swiss brand.

Thanks guys.
For us watch freaks, yes, it's a DIY job. But for my buddy who's about to get his first watch, he'd rather have a pro do it for him. Cheers, GW |

The best pro would be himself, when i size bracelets or change to nato, I take my time and even put tape around the edges so the springbar wont rub.And I use a toothpick so I wont scratch the case. Nobody would take their time and do that for me but myself

No need to take it to an AD; any jeweler/watchmaker can do it.
