How to lengthen jubliee strap with links

[Devon Dipper]

Hi there, I have just acquired a 70's Oyster Date with a jubilee bracelet (I know that's not correct for the watch but I like it).

What I'd like to know is - is it possible to add links to lengthen the bracelet, as it is a tiny tiny bit tight. It probably only needs one link adding. Having counted up one side has 9 and one side has 10!

If so, how does one do it, please? I have managed to find links but don't know if I'm buying the right thing or how I would go about getting one into the bracelet

Thanks, one and all

There are instructional videos on YouTube. You will need an extra screw, as well. You will also need a 1.4 mm jewelry screw driver. Just google how to size a Rolex Jubilee bracelet. It’s really easy. Basically, you unscrew one of the removable links, add the extra link, and screw it back together. Add it to the side with 9 links. When you are done, show post a pic. Welcome to the forum!

Sorry - I should have been more clear with my original post. This bracelet is the folded link version and doesn't have any links with screws to be able to unscrew and add another one.

Can you post a pic ofthe bracelet, especially the underside of the removable links. I’ve adjusted some vintage bracelets, awhile back. My son talked me out of a 34 mm Vintage OP, that I sized, but it was a folded link oyster bracelet. It might be similar though, in the way ir works.
