So in the AD today to express interest in another watch purchase and mentioned I’d be buying an oyster bracelet for my Pepsi…..Oh no sir that won’t happen.

Very disappointed. Has anyone else been lucky in getting a new oyster bracelet for their pepsi?

Dini · 16 July 2022, 10:13 PM

I believe this is possible through Rolex Service Centre. I spoke to someone around a month ago just to see if it was possible and they confirmed it was. This was right after someone actually bought a bracelet and posted it on the Rolex forum. Unless Rolex have changed their minds again, it should be possible.

What pita! I’m not selling! I hate the jubilee is all. I’ll pay for a new bracelet you make a mill plus watches a year surely I can be aloud a new strap!

JMGoodnight369 · 16 July 2022, 10:30 PM

Yeah you can definitely get an oyster bracelet. If you have a Rolex service center near you just drop by and walk out with one. Dealing with ADs for anything service related is a waste of time. They really don’t know anything.

Calatrava r · 16 July 2022, 10:49 PM

I think now the only way you can get an Oyster bracelet from Rolex, is if you already have one on a watch it came with, it is damaged, and you SWAP it out with Rolex.

Interesting.

I've asked about this very thing and my AD says "No possible." Every time.

I learned recently there is a huge disconnect between the AD and Rolex. Anything you need with your Rolex watch you need to go to Rolex directly. 99% of ADs are absolutely clueless with Rolex’s procedures and services. Not only can you get a new bracelet, but you get to keep the old one.

This is a very true statement, I had one AD tell me “note it’s not possible” the other AD said sure thing price was steep for a new jubilee bracelet but I’ll have it in 2 or 3 weeks he said.

Not quite sure if this would fit, as it is a glide lock sub bracelet but these come up regularly here in the classifieds

Do you know if they charge you for the new bracelet and keep the old one? Or is one able to simply buy the spare?

How do you contact RSC Dallas directly? Is there a phone number or email address you can share?

I believe the 833-765-3900 number is not a direct line to RSC Dallas, just a common number to Rolex USA.

And I thought jubilee costs more than oyster?

Oyster - $1900 + tax
Jubilee - $2100 + tax

These are straight prices for the bracelet (no exchange).

EagleBear · 16 July 2022, 11:42 PM

There are a few threads here already explaining the process yes it is possible and quite a few members have already done it.
RSC is your best friend , ADs aaah not so much lol ;)

Bluside · 16 July 2022, 11:54 PM

I went through this many times with my AD. He said he checked and it was not possible at the time.

However, I was in there again last week and he asked for the model # and serial # to see if they can order an oyster now. A couple days later he wrote and said yes, they can order me one from Rolex.

MRBolton · 16 July 2022, 11:57 PM

RSC told me June 30th it was possible. My AD placed an order for it for me and another customer. July 12th, they cancelled both orders without explanation. I emailed RSC, and they indicated I could do it if I sent the watch in. So that’s what I’m doing.

OP is in Scotland. Anecdotes of RSCs or ADs in other countries are irrelevant.

It is possible via the London RSC

Realize this is a different reference, tho last weekend I went to Mayors and they checked about my first-release SkyD. Yes I'm getting the Jubilee and yes keep the stock Oyster.

As others suggested, check directly with RSC.

Geckobros · 17 July 2022, 01:03 AM

This process shouldn’t be so convoluted. It’s just a bracelet for a watch. You would think we were trying to find the ark of the covenant.

Anestheticsaregood · 17 July 2022, 01:47 AM

I just ordered (yesterday) a jubilee bracelet for my Pepsi bought on oyster from my AD. They claim that you cannot order an oyster bracelet from Rolex but can order a jubilee. They also said I could trade the oyster in for jubilee for a 30% discount on the new bracelet but they would have to hold my watch while I waited for the new bracelet. Insanity. I just paid outright for the jubilee (3167.85 with tax) and now I wait. I’ll be keeping my oyster for a while and if I really like the jubilee maybe eventually I’ll
Sell it as I have a 16710 Pepsi on oyster.

Wowsers, the bracelet is over 3 grand?! I thought they were about $2,000.

Maybe the AD up charged me for the convenience of them ordering it for me. Wouldn’t surprise me. Also sales tax is around 7%

Over $3k for a steel bracelet! Ok, definitely not going to order one. I also thought they were around $2k. That's just taking P at $3k+

So long as the watch was available in that configuration, there is no problem getting a different bracelet.

I did the opposite, moved from oyster to jubilee, my AD got the new bracelet in a couple of weeks.
