Hi there,

Regarding jubilee bracelet do you know when Rolex changed the clasp ??

Basicaly the 6251h (folded jubilee) was equiped with big crown clasp and later 62510H (non folded clasp ; introduced in 1975) was equiped with a classic clasp).
We can find quite a lot of 6251H with "classic buckle" do you know when exactly Rolex started to put classic buckle on the 6251H ?

cheers,

This is such a helpful post and echo the thoughts of others who have posted on this thread, this should definitely be a sticky. Thanks very much OP!

Can't seem to find this, but has there ever been a president-bracelet by Rolex in SS? I found one for around 650 USD but am wondering if this is correct. It looked to have some stretch and to be in need of a good polish, but still the price seemed very low. Any advice? Thinking about picking it up as I read everywhere it is very comfortable to wear.

There could never be a “President” bracelet in SS because that designation is for bracelets fitted for a Day-Date. And Day-Dates are not made in SS.

Now there is a modern Jubilee bracelet with a hidden clasp in SS that is fitted to SS GMT or DJ watches. And it looks a lot like a “President”.

The price you’re sharing sounds like it is low and could be for a replica bracelet.

Since when and for which size do they offer these jubilee bracelets with president look clasps? Really curious.

Fantastic info thanks for posting

I have searched and searched for the meanings of the markings towards the case side of my bracelet. On one end it had OR engraved which I believe stands for gold and on the opposite side has a tiny crown you can only see through the loupe with what I believe says S something than crown and the R. I noticed it not on all of them. The watch does have a service crystal I’m thing maybe it’s a new service bracelet it says S8 but that could just be August 1994 the case is E so 1991 any help would be greatly appreciated

Could someone please give me some advice about this bracelet, as I can't see a code on the clasp itself.

Reputable dealer tells me the bracelet is 100% genuine. Has a code on the end piece though.

I am no expert but it just smacks of originality.

Amazing post!

How does one find out about whether oyster bracelets are interchangeable between references, eg, GMT & Air King, GMT & Sub, etc? Thanks, John

I am somewhat mystified by 57 end links. I have a 6239 with a 7205 bracelet and 71 end links. I was offered a very good condition 7205 with 57’s which I thought would be good to get as a spare bracelet but the end links don’t seem to be a perfect fit. The curvature is a little off. Nevertheless I see bracelets on 6239 watches for sale with 57’s and they seem to fit in the photos. Have the end links been altered or adjusted?

Thank you Greekbum for this post so full of useful information. With your help and that of Rolex Reference Library, I have discovered that it is possible to identify the year of manufacture of a Rolex by looking at some codes engraved on the clasp.

So far I've learned that the Clasp codes consists of letters and a number, but on my watch I can only see a letter "I", above Rolex Crown logo, there's no number along with it. May I presume, this watch was manufactured in 1984?

This is a Datejust 36, white gold, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks!
Steve

Amazing thread! Thank you!

Greetings all-

Just curious to know if there’s a way to validate the clasp code on a 2013 ND Sub 114060? Mine has an ominous code of “666”.

Its a random generated 3 digit code

Hi guys I had a quick question. I purchased a partially a ticketed 79200 oyster bracelet for my GMT II 126710 Pepsi that came on a jubilee. It was listed as a new take off, it looks incredible. At each end there is a three digit alpha numeric code. Can someone tell me what they mean, and are they supposed to match. One end is R3Q and the other is A9A. Thanks!

[Jilani]

Thanks for the info, this is great!

[jokgga]

are there any information on pre 1975 bracelets and clasps?

I have one that is coming from a 1970 Oyster Precision that does not have a clasp code.

Good info .. thanks

Hey guys, I’m new to Rolex… i bought my first one, the Rolex Texano ref 5100, but I’m trying to source a couple extra links for the bracelet. Does Rolex still sell those special order or am i at the mercy of the open market?

Welcome to the Forum!

Would love to see a picture of the watch. Maybe open a new thread in the vintage section to show that puppy off!

I doubt Rolex would have one but it does not hurt to try.

Just as a brief DD bracelet info PSA for this thread (and so I can find it later, when I’ve forgotten) -

In another thread today* we were able to compare some catalogs, and determined that Rolex offered new Day-Dates with either the hidden clasp President bracelet (8385) or the older clasp President (7286) for at least 23 years, from 1972-94.

The hidden type may have come on the 1803 earlier than ‘72; the older type was only in YG by ‘94 and was gone by ‘96.

cross posting from the other thread, saw this on a DD36, any ideas?

[_horatio_]

Folks I am looking for the correct PART NUMBER of the link screws on the 78590 bracelet (for a SS Daytona 116520).

Anyone has this info by any chance?

[qwackerz]

Can anyone please inform me?

I have just acquired a 1969 Oyster Perpetual on a 78350 bracelet (Stamped VF = 1981) with 557 end links.

This is wrong (I think).

Id like to know what bracelet and end links should i be looking for to be correct for 1969.

Iv seen the folded and riveted (Which i prefer) stamped 69 on the clasp.

Thankyou
