Part Number for Submariner 124060 screw link pins?

[Farleyv1]

I am looking for some new link pins for the 124060 submariner.

Does anyone know the part number for these?

I have measured using my digital caliper which comes up at 1.69mm diameter, thread diameter is 1.36mm and length 16.56mm

Much appreciated.

Don't know if this will help.

Best bet is speak to an AD.

There are two screws for bracelet # 20-97JB00-21.
32-33300 is for blind threads
32-33779 I believe is the one you are looking for

Thanks guys. I appreciate the image Padi56, I think that is a slightly shorter screw (for the 20mm bracelet) on the likes of the 114060 (pre 2020) model.

Pepperjack, thanks I am pretty sure you are correct, however I cannot see any pins listed on the web with that number for sale.

I have scheduled an appointment with my AD for tomorrow so will see what he says.

Thank you for the speedy input.

Update, went to the AD (goldsmiths) and they were very helpful. Didn't get a part number but they have ordered me in the genuine bracelet screw pins (sold in packs of 5 only) for grand total of £20.

Also said the individual links were £49 each which I thought was fair.

Just to confirm. My pins came and the packaging states B32-33779-D5 so you were correct.

Thanks for the update. Glad it worked out

Always good to verify. FYI, Pepperjack is a Senior L40 Watchmaker for a Rolex-Authorized Dealer, Graduate of the Lititz Watch Technicum.

Good to know

Chaps, just hoping for a bit of input / feedback from you more knowledgeable folk.

I went to put the new rolex pins in, but they aren't an EXACT match to the originals in the watch. (I don't know if i'm just being unrealistic or pedantic) or if being rolex, they should be perfectly the same.

The diameter of both the thread and unthreaded part are a match.
But the length is slightly off.

I have attached some images and taken accurate measurements with my digital caliper. The new pins are all between 0.2 - 0.25mm shorter. I know it is not much but visually, they don't sit flush with the end of each link like the originals did. New pins are 16.27-.29mm, originals 16.53 - .55mm.

Despite the thread diameter being the same, the actual flat end spot is larger on all the originals, which used to fill the link. I just can't understand why this would be?

Unlikely, but I was thinking could these be the ones for the blind holes that Pepperjack was talking about, but they would probably be much shorter still and doubtful they'd be mispackaged.

Any feedback appreciated.

I tried to upload some pictures, if they are not showing I will continue to try to add them so you can see.

The length of new screws are typically shorter than the ones present in a new bracelet. I believe that this is to account for any material loss that may have occurred to the sides of the bracelet. Additionally, it's common for even screws in a brand new bracelet to not be identical; this can be evident when sizing a bracelet, as returning a screw to the hole it did not originate may cause it to not be completely flush to the link.

In that case, I really appreciate you confirming, so at least I can have peace of mind that I have done all I can do and It's the best it can be.

At least I have genuine Rolex screws back in and the heads are back to being perfect. It was a new watch (bought grey) and the guy resized it for me but did a poor job and damaged 4 screw heads taking out a link from either side with his incorrect driver you see. Lesson learned.

I bought a 1.6mm panerai ground driver and 222 locitite to do it myself this time..

Out of interest, do you know roughly how much shorter blind screws are then? I would hazard a guess of 1.5-2 mm perhaps.

You can order a new link with screw and it will match.

Thank you. I had a feeling that would be the other option and makes sense.

These screws are measuring 15mm, so not too far off on your guess of 1.5mm
