Is there a good place to buy specific Rolex bracelets?

[jn2d1986]

Is there a reputable place to buy a jubilee bracelet for my datejust 41? Anybody have any experience with somebody they trust?

There are, but you're likely paying over retail. Why not just inquire at an AD or better yet, right to RSC?

AD would be my guess

Tried that and Rolex makes you turn in your current bracelet for the new one. It’s ridiculous. I just want both

Call one of the Trusted Sellers in the classifieds. They might be able to help you.

RolexUSA tightly controls their parts supply. Your best bet is finding a willing dealer although the policy on bracelets seems to change regularly. Any other source will be much more expensive on an already expensive accessory.
If price is not an issue the suggestion to contact the resellers here would be next.

Are you the original owner from new?

If not, you could try taking it in on a nato.

I contact one of the UK RSCs. I've done this twice for bracelets and got positive responses.

You can buy bracelets from Rolex at St James in London. Jubilee is around £800 approx plus tax at 20%.

I called today about purchasing a jubilee for a 16710 I am looking to source that comes on an oyster. As long as your watch is a reference that could be ordered with the bracelet at retail you can do it. So a DJ 41 you're perfect Ok to do that.

Same is true for bezel inserts etc. If the watch could be ordered with it when it was sold, you can order it now.

Thanks all. I’ll try my luck with uk rsc. So odd it’s not offered in USA

Are you in the USA? Just called and wouldn’t go through

My ad isn’t able to order it and when I call rsc they will only sell me one if I give them my oyster bracelet in exchange. It’s ass backwards

[vesnyder]

I have a GMT II and wanted an Oyster bracelet to comlement the origianl jubilee. They said they will place an order - and I am still waiting. I heard that when you purchase a jubilee you have to trade-in the oyster?

I bought a 1680 last year from a local jeweler that came on a no-name bracelet. Walked into Tourneau with no history at all and asked if I could buy an oyster bracelet for it, they put in the order right then and there. It took a few months to get, but I paid retail and they installed and fit it the day I picked it up. I had an old RSC warranty card with me to prove it was real, I think they only looked at it to get the serial number.

So update… as an American I called the London rsc today and they confirmed they would sell me a jubilee bracelet without trading my oyster but I had to do it in person. I then called Dallas and nyc rsc here and both said they would only sell me the jubilee if I gave back the oyster. I asked why that is since London doesn’t have the same protocol and they said it’s because they don’t want them flooding the grey market. So ridiculous

Now call one of our trusted sellers. Go to Classifeds, Rolex, then Boutiques. One of those guys will take care of you.

RolexUSA is distributer for RolexSA and can and do have different policies than the presumed UK distributor.

That's what I did. Great service but a rather longer trip for you than I had to make! It did take them a few months to get one though. This was for my BLRO. I had a TT Sky Dweller switched to Jubilee and kept the Oyster bracelet. This was done via my AD. Strange there should be a difference but I'm not complaining. The UK RSC also confirmed they could get a replacement bracelet for my 116610LV on a walk in provided I checked for stock before traveling and had all the necessary owner paperwork.
