Full Jubilee bracelets should have 22 links in total. Oyster bracelets have 12.

22 is for 6 digit reference jubilee i believe? I looked at many pictures and none of the Rolex 16233 have 22 links + end links. I was reading on the 16233 should be 20 links + 2 end links not sure if accurate.

Does anyone have a fully linked 16233 and check how many links jubilee should have to be full?

It’s always been 22, for a long time now, plus 2 end links. Many times you will see used watches for sale, with less links, because some have been removed and misplaced.

I appreciate your help Kat. However I haven't seen any 5 digit with 22 links plus 2 end links and i looked at dozens. Sorry but i respectfully disagree with you.

Also looked online found info that states 16234 with Jubilee 62510 comes with 20 links standard so 22 it seems is not standard for the 16233 model. If someone can please double check their 16233 and verify would be appreciated.

If you already knew, why ask? I’m just going by everything I’ve read on Jubilee bracelet, over the years.

Thanks for you trying to help me. If you re-read i was asking for someone to verify with their 16233 exactly how many links is full not just a guess. I never claimed that i already knew but from what I'm Researching its contradicting what you are saying. I'm just trying to learn.

First you told me its always been 22 links then you say that you are going by everything you've read.... You read 22 links but I read 20 links.

I'm looking at Rolex 16233 dozens of watches and none have 22 links. Why is that? Very strange that all of these for sale have removed and misplaced links.... They seem to pretty consistently have 11 and 9 or 12 and 8 links plus the 455b 2 end links

Honestly I see 0 Rolex 16233 two tone for sale online with 22 links and ive looked for a few hours already. I should at least spot a few with full 22 links.

All have 20 links or less i found just 1 set that was unworn with 21 links....very odd

Would be nice if someone who bought one brand new can chime in after checking their 16233 jubilee and verify how many links. Thank you.

Well, not sure why you are still so unsure, but it is 22. These are very old watches you are looking at, with shortened bracelets, for various reasons. Since you are still unsure, why not email Patrick (OC Rolex guy) and ask him, since he has a bunch for sale. You might call RSC in Dallas, or NYC, and ask them, and see if they sell extra links. You might also ask what size wrist one with only 20 links will fit, in case you are thinking of buying one with 20 links. You can probably buy extra links on eBay, if need be, as well. This subject has come up before. You can do a search and find other threads where this has been asked and answered. Also, Alpino, above, even has a stock picture with the correct model number of the bracelet, probably from the parts catalogue, stating 22 links. I am sincerely trying to be helpful. Good luck!

Did you try it on yet? If it fits why worry. I think it’s 20-22 links not 100% sure.
I have a newer reference and had to add links from new.


Cheers,
