Replaced a link in my day-date bracelet with a 1.25 link. Needed it just a little more loose.

Thought I would share a couple pics..... I had never seen one before.

They are ridiculously expensive. Approx $600.00 each in white gold.

Very interesting, now I only wish they made TT 1/2 links that fit on a DJII :(

kcmo · 12 May 2012, 06:10 AM

I have a 1.25 link for my DJ....jubilee bracelet....works great!

crew · 12 May 2012, 07:51 AM

$600. Ouch.
This may be the only place where you can admit to spending that much $ on a link and no one calls you crazy.
We are a sick group of people.

Btw, I'd buy it if I needed the room. And if I had a white gold watch.

So true! I have to watch myself around non-WIS people. A friend commented on my new SMP and said, "That's a nice watch. What's that cost? Like $500 or something?" I just replied, "Yeah, somewhere around there...".

$600 for a link..I can understand it. Most people beside us wouldn't.

praveen911 · 5 April 2013, 11:27 AM

Hi.where did u buy the half link from? I desperately need one for my 118235 rose gold president.tks

praveen911 · 5 April 2013, 12:09 PM

Hi guys. Silly question but is the half link actually half the size of the original dd link?

kilyung · 5 April 2013, 12:20 PM

Mike, seems like the bracelet on the platty DD2 is the same price as mine! Unless it's gone up, this is from the 2012 pricelist ...

Some of the accessory prices get pretty nuts. How about $6k or so for a platinum deployant buckle?

Must be referring to the ALS deploy buckle, right? I was looking at a Pt Datograph and it also came with a Pt deploy buckle and they mentioned it was $6k.

DJJon · 5 April 2013, 01:16 PM

I bought not one but two " 1 1/4 links" for my Datejust Two-Tone YG/SS Super Jubilee. The idea was to change out 1 link, and if necessary, a second. Well, 1 was perfect, so I have the other "just in case"

List Price was $210. each but my AD only charged me $350 for the pair.

A standard SJ link is 8 mm end to end, so the longer " 1 1/4 link" is 10 mm long. These seemingly small 2 mm adjustments can spell the difference between good and sublime fit !

Htab · 5 April 2013, 03:21 PM

I think I need one also.

praveen911 · 29 July 2013, 11:50 PM

Hi Guys, I bought a 1.25 link for my 118235 rose gold president from my Rolex dealer after seeing your posts. Makes a huge difference to the fit. its perfect. Dealer didnt even know it existed till i showed him your pics,Thanks for posting.

praveen911 · 29 July 2013, 11:51 PM

Let me know if anyone needs the part no.

Hi, any chance you can give me the part no. for 1.25 link for 118235?
Thank you.

kilyung · 29 July 2013, 11:53 PM

I still may need one myself... either that or lose/gain weight.

Manofsteelpt · 29 July 2013, 11:57 PM

As for the 1.25 link... I wonder why Rolex didn't make it 1.5?

Probably so you'd have to buy TWO for the 0.5 link fit.

jonanator · 30 July 2013, 07:11 AM

lol ouch, $600. I should tell my friend who was complaining about $300 for a 1.5 AP link.
