So I went in to my dealer to purchase a two tone yellow datejust m.o.p diamond dial jubilee for my dad for christmas and as we were getting it sized to fit, my father's wrists were too big and they had to add 2 links. I know its 18k gold but they needed $600 US for 2 links. Can anyone verify the price? I was told they are $100 each at most.

Man I know the price of single links is a killer

especially if they are gold, but even stainless.
Sometimes if you are buying a watch new, the seller (AD) will throw in the extra link/s for free. If I was putting down a wad of cash on a new watch, I would at least want the extra link at cost.
Good Luck

In Auckland, a single TT link for a TT Sub sells for NZ$400 = US$300 (approx)!!!

SPACE-DWELLER · 5 December 2007, 09:13 PM

Yup, they don't come cheap. I seem to remember a price of 300ish for a TT link.

I can look up the exact price when I get home from work.

Amazing that the cost of a single link.
How much would a replacement strap set ya back?

Do the links come with or without the screws?

Can you buy the srews seperately? If so how much are they?

txrob779 · 6 December 2007, 04:23 AM

When I bught my 16610 at Jareds in March, 1 link was $120. Ripoff but I had to have it.

That's a lot of money for sure.

GoldenBear · 6 December 2007, 07:00 AM

Been there, done that. Twice. One SS, one Gold.

Back from work! Damn, I'm tired!

Anyway, just checked my pricelist.

Now, the TT DJ (Ref. 116233 - new style) has the bracelet ref. # 63203 (Jubilee bracelet, that is!).

A single link for that bracelet costs US $ 115, and an additional 1 1/4 link costs US $ 140.

A Rolex Day-Date ref. 118238 has the bracelet ref. # 83208 (President, concealed clasp).

A single link for that bracelet costs US $ 440, and an additional 1 1/4 costs US $ 550.

The AD added a link to my TT Daytona for free (in addition to the 10% discount). I guess YMMV.

SPACE-DWELLER · 6 December 2007, 09:01 AM

Yes, in the process of purchasing a Rolex, normally the AD would include a link - IF NEEDED, that is! - at no extra charge.

When I tried on a Day-Date recently, it was a bit tight fitting, and my AD told me that he would be happy to add (and install) an extra link on it, for free.

But if you want an extra link LATER, normally you would get charged.

Me too on my SD.

Although I'm not sure what "YMMV" means.

1fastsaleen · 6 December 2007, 09:47 AM

It surprises me the cost of certain items on our watch. Based on a previous post of mine I inquired about the cost to replace a bezel on a 16610.

I was recommended to call the RSC in Beverly Hills and they quoted me $190 for the bezel and $60 for labor. Considering the machining involved I had expected $300-$400+.

Go figure $120+ for stainless links and $300+ for TT. Precious metals are just that I guess.

'Your Mileage May Vary'

An American (I think) web colloquialism.
