Can I get just a jubilee bracelet

Currently have a DJ 41 on oyster. I love it but would like a jubilee in addition to switch out when I want to. Went to 2 ADs (including one I bought from ) and couldn’t get a clear answer (one basically said unlikely and one said they would have to call Rolex but seems
Like their stalling ) Is this possible? If an AD won’t do, are they’re any aftermarket ones I can find ?

I was able to purchase one from a Fink's in Charlotte, NC, but this was back in 2021. Not sure if anything has changed since then.

Call the RSC in Dallas and NY. See what they tell you. I see them occasionally here for sale.

I recall the bracelet being in the $1700-$1800 range. Yes, you can totally do this yourself. I recommend some painters tape and one of these tools.

I believe esslinger also sell the 7825

I have become a bit more of a horofix fan for this, ymmv.

Please update if you were able to get through an AD. I would like to get a jubilee for my GMT but have been told in the past that I wasn't able to.

I tried to get one for my SkyD. For 9+ months I was told it was ordered and just waiting. Then I was told Rolex stopped selling them for the SkyD. Which was verified by two other Rolex boutiques. This may or may not apply to the DJ, the bracelets are different sizes. But it doesn’t bode well for jubilees sold separately.

Switching your Datejust 41 to a Jubilee bracelet is possible, but some ADs are hesitant due to Rolex's policies. They may need approval, which causes delays. If they won't help, you can explore reputable aftermarket options or look for a genuine pre-owned Jubilee bracelet.

I should think so. I bought an oyster (93150) bracelet from the boutique in Santa Clara, CA. The SA told me a lot of bracelet types were available, for models dating back to the 60s.

The part # you want is the 62610. I purchased it from an AD in Toronto, Ontario and it cost me $2,000 cdn + tax.

You will have to provide the serial number of the watch (or take the watch into the AD) to purchase.

And if you wanted to test drive a jubilee style of bracelet, you could also choose an aftermarket bracelet (approximates a genuine), you don't have to spend $2k and jump through a bunch of hoops to try it, only to find out that you don't like as much as you thought you would. Just a suggestion.

Yep. There's a supplier in Italy who makes them. Rolex stamped and all (although A/M ofc). You'd have to do some digging, but about 1/6th the price. Good quality in my opinion.

Before yes it was no problem to buy any jubilee bracelet or oyster bracelet at the AD.
Until last year Rolex changed the policy they would only sell you the bracelet that the watch came with from the factory and in some cases keep the old bracelet.

This I heard while at the AD. A customer came asking for a bracelet for his DJ.
The SA explained that Rolex wanted to control people changing bracelets , bezels and selling watches with parts they did not come with originally from the factory.

Like everything they are out there and some Ads may even have them in stock and sell them to their clients or a watchmaker shop.

Best of luck,

Yes, you can. My DJ came on oyster and I bought the jubilee bracelet from an AD with no problem.

It all depends on AD. I would say 50% will do it for you. I did that the same swap in April.

Jubilee for DJ is like 1800$
