How many removeable links are on a full-size jubilee bracelet?

Thanks.

I know that the older Jubilee bracelet with HOLLOW centre links, comes with 22 links all up....13 + 9. Rolex usually provide 3 removable from the '12' side and 2 from the '6' side.

I am sure about the 22 links, but perhaps someone here who owns a Jubilee can confirm about the other point.

The new style Jubilee with ALL SOLID links comes with 24 links and a concealed clasp so you see only the crown on the outside! Cool!!

Just when the new style TOGs and DJs came into the market....end of 2004 I think.

My SS DJ was made in 05 and does not have the solid links...

The code on the bracelet says MA4. I can spot the Coronet and looked at it under a scope and it looks perfect. Also, it does not have the hidden clasp

You've obviously got the older model. Even when the newer style DJs were out at the ADs, the older ones were still current and running parallel to the new ones.

It was entirely up to the customer to choose which one they wanted. As a matter of fact, quite a few dealers still have the older models in their windows.

Once these go, however, that's it. Rolex has stopped manufacturing them. Only new ones from Geneva now.
