41mm Datejust Jubilee Bracelet Crown Clasp

Hey everyone,

I am new to watch collecting, but have a background in some other collectibles that fit well with watches, mostly coins and other antiques, some bourbon, and I like to collect ‘houses’.

I have also decided that I am ready to purchase my first Rolex in 2018. This is something I have wanted all of my life, and I am having some trouble figuring out a few things moving forward.

I know for example that I want a Two-Tone Yellow Gold 41mm Datejust Black Diamond Dial Fluted Bezel on a Jubilee Bracelet with a Crown Clasp

My problem seems to be finding this exact setup with the crown stealth Clasp. I decidedly do NOT want or like the look of the oyster Clasp on this configuration, but I don’t see the option available anywhere.

What are my options for something like this? Is it a call to Rolex for a custom job? Are they already out in the wild? Is it ‘coming soon’? Pardon my ignorance, but I am unable to locate this answer and feel as if I may be looking for something that does not exist.


Thanks for any help and direction!

I don't believe the DJ41 Jubilee is available with the crown clasp.

No such thing as "Rolex custom". You get what you get.

What about an aftermarket swap?

Are there any alternatives to what I am looking to accomplish?

And thank you for correcting my ‘newbiness’.

I wasn't correcting you at all. Sorry if it read that way.

No such thing as crown clasp on the 41 I’m afraid! Why don’t you go for the 36 instead?

41mm Datejust Jubilee Bracelet Crown Clasp

Oh it’s fine. I literally know nothing about Rolexes other than brand recognition so I am happy to be correctly informed.

I’m 6’5” and roughly 240 pounds and I recently tried on a 36mm and it felt too puny on my frame.

I’m also 30 and of the watch sagging generation.

I have either a 39mm or a 41mm Tag Heuer that fits fantastic.

So a combination of all that.

Crown hidden clasp only on 36 model. Like the look of that bracelet myself. Probably find an aftermarket bracelet with hidden clasp to fit the 41.

I’m 6’5” and about 240 pounds, and I also tried a vintage Datejust 36 on recently and it just felt puny on my frame.

I also am of the generation that tends to ‘sag’ their watch below the wrist.

And I own a Tag in either 39 or 41mm that is really comfortable and looks nice proportion wise

Could the crown Clasp be swapped out with an oyster Clasp?
