Hello everyone

I've just joined the forum after recently becoming interested in Rolex's.

Ive come across a Rolex sub 16613 around 28 years old, it has the lug holes but also has the later gold clasp bracelet with the gold running the whole way round the bracelet , but I'm reading that these bracelets wouldn't fit the earlier Rolex's with the lug holes.

Is this true ? It's for sale in a reputable shop in central London.

Any help is much appreciated

Perhaps just the clasp was changed as they are interchangeable.

Hi and thanks , im comfortable with the seller , just wasn't aware the clasps were interchangeable . I've put a couple of pics up and noticed extra links inside the clasp , is that to adjust the size of the bracelet or is that how they come standard?

Thanks

Ok well I thought I had put up a couple of pics . Let me see what I've done wrong .

There is a little circle inside the older style clasp, press it and the extension pops out so you can wear it over a wet suit.

Adjustment of the bracelet is done via removing links and/or moving it along the small holes at the side of the clasp, for finer adjustment.

Hi and thanks for your help . I'm guessing I would need a special tool adjust the bracelet ? I can't find any circle to press with this clasp unfortunately .

I just managed to take the bracelet out of the clasp as it was a spring loaded pin , but it's already at its longest adjustment so I guess I will need a link , it does fit ok but could do with an extra couple of mm stretch .
