How do I add a couple of links to my Rolex JUBILEE watchband
 
I purchased 2 additional links for my jubilee bracelet/watchband. I noticed the pin on one side and that seems self explanatory but how does the other side attach. It appears that the two middle links are supposed to connect but I haven't a clue how!!
Please advise

Uh.. the 2 middle/inner links, are fixed.. and not a seperate entity. The outter links are connected by threaded pins...that screw into the adjoining links (either TT or SS)..thru the inner links and into the outer links.
Not quit sure what you purchased.. but from what Ive seen, the inner links are not a seperate componant of a 'link' -
Are you missing the 'threaded' pins..??

This is a pic of a link... Notice that the inner link is fixed..and the outer link has the pin hole to connect to the band...
Hope that helps somewhat...!

You have posted the exact piece.
Your help is awesome and I appreciate it. The question that I have is how the 2 "FIXED" links (the gold part of the SS/18K) attach to the incoming link (one next to it.). Is that where the pin goes through from the previous SS part of the link??

..Glad the pic helps. As I mentioned, the inner/gold link is non-removeable from the SS link. The pic shows the pin already attached/screwed in place thru the SS part of the 2 part link. If you remove the pin, the 2 gold/inner pieces/links fit in between the SS link and the screw pin slides thru all and screwed in place.
Here's a link that shows the process with an Explorer bracelet. The only difference is the shape of the links...
