Resizable? Ladies Rolex
My mother would like to pass down her dress Rolex to my wife. The watch is currently too large. Can these be resized? Thanks!

Say "Thanks mom!" Then turn around and buy your wife a modern Rolex
My wife has a handful of these hand-me-down watches that were important to her mom and thus they have sentimental value. Thankfully she never wears them (eg. something with Mickey Mouse hands...) |

Easily sizable but only by a real goldsmith with a laser torch.

Not adjustable per se. It will be expensive but a watchmaker or bracelet specialist should be able to remove the clasp and then trim the bracelet and resolder the clasp onto the bracelet.
Measurement of how much to remove on each end will be important to keep the clasp centered when finished. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
