Super Jubilee Fit

Apologies, as I have read threads concerning the fit and stretch etc of the super Jubilee bracelet. I recently purchased a 116234 Datejust on the super jubilee bracelet and I’m in love with the watch. It is my first Rolex and I am loving it, however I find myself removing a link and putting it back in nearly daily. I do love the super jubilee but does anyone else have this same problem? I’ve also read about 1 and a quarter links but these seem to be rare on the sales section and elsewhere (may need to check my AD). I know it is down to individual preference but does anyone have any tips on how the super jubilee should fit? Or any good way to judge whether it is fitting too tight or loose? As I’ve said I know a lot of this will be down to personal preference, just looking for any helpful comments. Cheers.

The SJ should fit securely but without being too loose on your wrist. If as stated, you are removing a link and placing it back on the 1.25 link might be your answer.

I have an extra 1.25 SJ link that I picked up from my AD, tried it but it was too big for my taste and made the bracelet too loose for me. Part number is below also. (I might just put it on the for sale forum, as it's just sitting not being used)

Hope this helps!

Thanks Guys very helpful! Its cooled down since I posted this and the watch is fitting perfectly. It’s just this warm weather in the U.K. that’s making it tight during the day, my wrist must be prone to expanding. A glide lock would be perfect lol but can’t have everything.

If you feel the need to constantly add and remove a link, it doesn't fit right. Doesn't really matter what anybody else's preferences are. The short link is probably your best bet.

edit: also re: the warm UK weather.. I'd just deal with it for the rest of the day and you'll be back to normal tomorrow

I know mate, be back to normal soon, hopefully not though. Yeah I hope it’s just because I’m not used to the fit of a jubilee bracelet that I keep thinking about it. Going to just try wearing the watch and forgetting about how tight the bracelet should be unless it’s cutfing off blood supply or falling off my wrist lol. Will enjoy it more that way.
