Tudor Black Bay - Half Links

Does anyone know if Rolex sell Half Links for the Tudor Black Bay here in England? Many thanks.

Okay maybe I was being a bit too parochial. Does anyone know if Rolex make them available anywhere? Cheers.

Unfortunately, No half links available for that bracelet (visited personally Rolex France in Paris upon purchasing my BB).

Enjoy a perfect fit on the provided fabric band...or have a jeweller drill a 4th hole position in the clasp ;-)

Wearing and greatly enjoying mine on the black textile for now...

Cheers,
L.J.

Watch fits fine on the bracelet, I just wanted to make a small adjustment through addition of half links. Cheers

I have the same problem, the holes are one short of a perfect fit.

In France (cooler temp.) on bracelet, it was either too tight (that's where a 4th hole position or a half-link would have come handy) or too loose...

Back in Mex. where I live, the tropical weather and temperature make the fit perfect

But, since I have a small wrist (6.5 in) the 22mm wide steel bracelet can't compete with the textile for comfort...not at all...have it on the fabric now...and really don't know when I'll put it back on steel

Love the way it looks though on the bracelet...so I might put it back on some time just for change/variety sake...will probably order a couple of NATO straps too...

All in all extremely pleased with my acquisition

I have removed two links from 12 o'clock side and one from 6 o'clock. I have the micro adjuster on the farthest holes and the watch fits very well. I would just like to pull the clasp a bit further round that's all. Cheers.
