Bracelet change out for datejust

All,

Have a Datejust 36mm (circa 1997) with the original hollow bracelet and clasp. I want to change the band to the updated Jubilee with the hidden clasp. Has anyone done this? If so, where to buy this bracelet? Been pretty unsuccessful so far, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Don’t believe they would if the new jubilee doesn’t go with the Watch. They’ll gladly sell a new hollow link / clasp bracelet.

I wanted to just replace the old style due to stretch. I was told that is was not an option and quoted that for the trade. They no longer produce the hollow link/ old clasp bracelets. You can only get the new style.

I wanted to keep it original and found a gently loved one.

Rolex only replaces with not original parts when THEY want to.

Edit: ...and that was for a TT, not sure the pricing on a SS.

Aclockworkblue,

How did you go about getting a quote? Did you actually have to go into a service center? I would gladly pay the $2k for the bracelet instead of paying $10,900 for a new version of mine.
