Half-Link for White Gold Submariner
I think the ceramic sub's currently come with a half-link.
Based on some queries, it looks like the WG version does not come with a half-link....but does anyone know if its possible to purchase one for that bracelet? |

I don't really think it is needed due to the glide lock clasp. I have a wg sub and it is still extremely comfortable.

You are correct, the half link does not come with the precious metal models...or even the TT, for goodness sake.
Yes, it is possible to purchase one. It is quite pricey, however. |

Retail for half link is around 730 or so and full link is 840.

i need more 'space' on the 6 side, the glidelock effectively only provides more space on the 12, i believe |

In the new catalog I think the WG 1/2 link is $1100 for the 97209 bracelet

A halvie would be perfect for my Smurf, but the glide lock covers a multitude of sins

When did the new catalog come out? Because I looked up the prices like two weeks ago at my AD.

Reviving this thread. Does anyone know whether there is a half link available to purchase for the smurf? I keep finding conflicting info.

I actually called rolex nyc service center and the person did not seem certain but indicated an AD would have to order it if it’s possible. She said it’s not a part that a customer can buy. I just don’t know if they are manufactured or not.

Would the half link out of the steel subs fit the white gold Sub?

Only if you have an older WG Sub bracelet without ceramic sleeves

You do not need a half link with the Glidelock clasp. Save your money.

Still perplexed why one would need a half link with glidelock clasp, it has an entire link of adjustment built in.

its the six o'clock side of the bracelet length that determines best "fit" and placement. The 12 o'clock side determines bracelet tension Sometimes a half link is necessary to facilitate ideal placement of the watch head relative to the clasp

On a side note, I just checked on mine, and I was surprised to see I do in fact have a half link in my bracelet. Came that way from AD. Strange? |

I had to buy a half link for my TT sub. But well worth it for the perfect fit. Bought mine through a local AD.
