Does Rolex Day Date have 1.5 link or half link?

Based on the fitting of the Day-Date, I was either one link too big or too small. I'm curious if Rolex has the 1.5 link or half link made for the right fitting for their Day-Date 40? Thanks.

Neither--they make a 1 and a 1.25 link. AD should be able to source and it won't be cheap, but getting the fitment right is priceless :).

I bought the 1.25 link from RSC and got the perfect fit until summer came along :(

Ended up getting rid of the dd40 all together due to no micro adjustment :/

The “1.5 link” for the President bracelet is actually called a 5/4ths link by Rolex and is able to be ordered. A WG one is about $700 USD from Rolex and may take at least several weeks to obtain.

RSC calls it a “grand link” and like stated, it’s about 1.25 links. A platinum one was 2k
