Jubilee link and MM size for BLRO....?????

There's been a lot of talk regarding the jubilee bracelet on the BLRO with respect to the look and number of links but was looking specifically to answers for:

1) what does a link in MM length add?

2) Can i order different sized links? If so, what are those sizes in MM?

3) Will they fit the new BLRO jubilee bracelet?

I did a quick search and the answers were not readily apparent.

Thanks for TRF experts input!

I'm not near my notes right now but want to say it's 8mm per link on the 69200 Jubilee links. There's a "link and a half" option for the 36mm Datejust 63200/63600 bracelet that should work. I believe it's 11.5mm or thereabout.

Are you not able to get there using the clasp adjustments? Per notch they're 3.5mm apart for a 7mm range in total. Or, do you need adjustment on the 6 o'clock side of the bracelet instead?

Agree with the above post, but I would for certain check with your AD and see if they can order you one...and confirm it fits on the BLRO jubilee.

Thanks! Yeah i seem to be like 1mm here are there to get it just perfect. so just trying to find that perfect size.

morning is perfect (inside micro adjustment with easy link open) but as day goes on the watch gets a bit snug

the other option is outside micro adjustment with easy link in, but i find it a tad loose

Inside closed 0
Center closed 3.5mm away
Inside open 5mm away
Outside closed 7mm away

Center open 8.5mm away
Outside open 12mm away

I can confirm that the links from a 36mm Datejust bracelet WILL NOT fit the BLRO 69200. I have an extra link from my Turnograph and it doesn’t fit.

Which bracelet do you have on your DJ? Is yours a Super Jubilee 63200/63600 or is it an older DJ with a 62510H? If it's the former and the links still don't fit then that's a bummer.

Regarding your spare TOG link, some Jubilee link pins are 1.2mm and some are 1.4mm. Yours might not be the correct version.

It’s the 63200/63600 purchased from Rolex Toronto.

Thanks for the confirmation.

Looks like I may have to shed a few pounds or pack on a few LOL
