Rolex Half-Link / center portion SubC Oyster

Gentlemen,

I am looking for a Rolex 16 mm Half-Link, whose
- center portion is 10 mm wide (ideally, 9 mm would be okay)
- with a bore-hole that would accept a screw 1.4 mm thick

Searching for a half-link I found this thread with one for the SubC with part-no. B32-21029-D1: https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?p=8274372

(I want it for the Tudor Oyster for their Ranger. I use it with my Black Blay 58 Blue.
That bracelet has the T-Fit clasp but I don't get the optimal range. With one full link added, the watch sits still a bit too loose at the shortest adjustment, with that link unmounted, it's not as slack on my wrist as I would want it and too tight when reduced with the clasp's adjustment option.)

Hopefully one of you can provide me with the width of the center portion of either the SubC's bracelet or from another Oyster for which a half-link is available.

(The 1.4 mm thickness of the screw is less relevant. I am confident that the screw from the Tudor will go through a Rolex link, at least that from my 93150 of my 14060M is compatible. Otherwise I could widen the hole with a drill.
Ah, and ideally it would be all brushed, but if such a compatible link would have a polished center section, I could brush it.)

Thank you for listening!

Cheers
Bernd

Rolex half links will not work on newer Tudor bracelets . Ever so slightly different size. Uncle Seiko makes a half link that works really well on Tudors.

Thank you for your answer!

Does your reply state in other words, that there is no Rolex Oyster (for which a half-link is available) with an inner width of 10 mm?
Because that's all I would need.

I know Uncle Seiko (Larry) and his product range well, but he doesn't offer a half-link for the Ranger and the reason is simple, I assume: As it features the adjustable T-Fit clasp the market for such a half-link will be pretty limited. But I will drop him a message, if he has plans for it.
I am also aware of Steel Reef and their so-called "on the fly extension links" for Tudor and Rolex, but these are Easy-Links which I cannot adapt with the T-Fit clasp.

Problem solved!

I contacted Larry and he directed me to this half-link on his site: https://unclestraps.com/collections/...black-bay-36mm

Which is exactly what I was looking for. The smaller BBs and their bracelets weren't on my mind, so I had missed this option. Awesome!

@cornerstone, thank you again!

Cheers
Bernd
