126710BLRO Jubilee Bracelet Wear
Hi TRF,
I own a 126170BLRO (11/20) and it’s get a lot of wrist time. Almost daily. It’s in incredible shape and has only a few hairlines on the case and as you imagine the clasp is wearing nicely. My concern is that the bracelet seems to be having more and more “flexibility” to it and it’s noticeable looser than years ago. I had it sized at the AD like my others but I’m wondering if the pins need replacing? Also, on the modern Jubilee bracelets only a portion of the links could be adjusted as the majority are solid links. What are your thoughts on seeing my AD about my concerns and would this be something covered under warranty or more of “wear and tear” And just buying a new bracelet? Thank you in advance! |

Don’t like jubilee bracelets for this reason. They do look great on some references! But yeah, they don’t wear well.

My DJ has had A LOT of wristtime since I bought it in 2020, still as new “stretch-wise”. Same goes for my BLRO from 2022, but that has had significantly less wristtime.

Can you show a pic of the stretch? I’ll compare to my own (4yrs daily wear).

That’s what makes it comfortable, I’d just roll with it.

If it’s still in warranty, it might be covered, though it is most likely normal wear and tear, especially if you don’t clean the bracelet often enough, or wear it on the loose side. We do need pics to further assist.

It’s well cleaned and not worn loose. The fit is perfect and I very very rarely will use the EZ Link extension. I believe it’s truly just wearing, or wearing out…Hard to get photos of the bracelet but I gave it a quick go. How do you add photos? I use the browser not the Tapatalk app? Any help?
Also, I have access due to frequent travel near one of the Rolex Service Centers, serious question-will they take a walk in if I’m in the area to put their eyes on it? |

I have a 22' BLRO on Jubilee and it has relaxed a bit but nothing terrible.

My six year old BLRO’s Jubilee bracelet is still pretty tight. I wear it fairly snug and wash with soap and water regularly. Want to see the picture but unlikely it would be a warranty item.
