1970 Womens Date 13mm folded link bracelet
Hello all, thank you for allowing me to join. I am a novice and this is my 1st post. I recently purchased my 1st rolex and it was a 1970 date for the Mrs. The problem that I am having is that here bracelet is too short. I ordered a link only to discover the link I ordered would not work as it is one with a screw and hers is the older folded links. I am trying to locate that style of link so I can adjust the band. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Tony |

Hi Tony, you may just want to source a generic band for now. I know with ladies models especially in vintage, links can be difficult to find. Best of luck.

Perhaps just as cheap to source a longer bracelet ....
Hi Tony,
13mm women's bracelets are not a big seller sometimes closing on eBay less that $100. Ignore the BUY NOWS deals around $500 - those sellers are dreaming. I paid US $52 for a genuine Oyster rivet bracelet (with correct date code) for my loved one's 6618 |

great advice from Paul.
do an ebay search for "Rolex bracelet 13mm" or try "rolex band 13mm". you should see a few. watch it for a while and pick up a parts bracelet and have your watchmaker cannibalize the pieces. in the end this will cost you less and you will have a few extra pieces for when and if it fails again. |
