I'm brand new and am looking for advice. I recently inherited a YG DD with pres. bracelet from my grandfather. I took it to an AD who sent it to Rolex to overhaul and add 4 links to the bracelet. The AD told me they are having a difficult time tracking down the links for the "old" style president bracelet.

Does anyone know if the "new" style links will fit the "old" bracelet? I realize the "new" links are solid and the "old" are hollow, but I don't feel like dropping 10 grand on a new bracelet. Thanks in advance.

I would of thought you could get those links off ebay

Not sure if the new/old links re compatible, but I would have thought they were.

These links cost about $150 each according to my recollection.

There's tons of them on e-bay.

Just make sure you get the original Rolex links as there are more aftermarket than real ones.

The band can be rebuilt if loose and the links are everywhere.Try ebay and in your city call the large we buy gold /jewelry places and ask them if they have any links.

My jeweler had a very hard time finding original Rolex-barked links.
