1675 is from 1966. 16753 is from 1979. 126719BLRO is from 2 weeks ago. I like the different feel of all three. I also like the variation in bracelets/straps.

I know it shouldn’t be said on this forum but……. I think my GMT Rolex portion of my collection is complete.

Incredible GMT collection! What jubilee bracelet is that on the 1675? Maybe I should try that.

My eyes are not good enough to read the numbers. I was told when I bought it that it was the original bracelet. I have to take it in for service and I will find out.

LSU-MOOSE · 24 May 2023, 03:15 AM

I am so bummed out. This happened after taking the picture. I went to wear the watch yesterday. I brought it in and my AD said that they thought that I needed a new bracelet as the repair would not fix the entire bracelet.

I am now contacting Rolliworks to see what they can do for me.

I am sad!!!!

Hardtimes · 24 May 2023, 05:03 AM

Thats an awesome collection!

I have heard nothing but good things about Rolieworks. Best of luck!

An update on my jubilee bracelet. This may sound like an Advertisement for Rolliworks but my experience could not have been better.

I contacted Rolliworks and they quoted me after receiving the photos. Quote was labor only and very reasonable. I sent a payment to cover shipping and they sent me a shipping label with insurance. They offered very good packaging instructions that I followed. Check mark one for Rolliworks. Less than a week later they quoted the repair. Quick response, check mark two for Rolliworks. They offered that I would need 2 additional links added to compensate for the reduced stretch. The additional links were OEM Rolex. I accepted.

The adding of the links was very important as I have nothing from the original packaging. I purchased watch only from an estate sale. I was very pleased that I chose a repair shop that knew this key fact that I never would have thought of. Then I thought what if I had not been advised and get the watch back and the bracelet be to small. Check mark three for Rolliworks.

The last question was how did I want the final polish on my finished, repaired bracelet from 1-10 with 1 being dull and 10 bright polish. I also never considered this. I asked what was their opinion on how the bracelet was received from me and they responded 5/6. I asked to return watch and bracelet with a 6. Check mark four for Rolliworks.

I accepted the final bill and paid in full. Final repair was one third the price of a new bracelet and keeps the original bracelet with my watch. Rolliworks then packaged and returned the bracelet to me. Repair was finished in 4 weeks and shipped back to me very well packaged. Check mark five for Rolliworks. Pictures to follow.

Here are the photos.

1. Box I picked up at FedEx. Note they only allow signed pick up for insured shipments
2. Inside the box. Rolliworks repair paperwork and the bracelet
3. Repair summary
4. Bracelet stretch report
5. Returned bracelet.

LSU-MOOSE · 7 July 2023, 03:36 AM

Second batch of photos.

1. They had these rubber bands holding the new spring bars in place during shipping
2. Rubber bands removing showing new spring bar
3. First side attached
4. Both sides attached
5. Full watch side view showing repaired bracelet
6. I could not be happier.

Actually I would be happier if I could take decent photos. I always see amazing photos on here and wish I could do that.

Wow cheers to Rolliworks for getting your GMT back in action!

Must have been a real heartache to wear your new meteorite BLRO while it was away
