Rolex Bracelet Size

Will the oyster bracelet that comes with a new OP41 fit an 8" wrist?
TIA

I have 7.5" wrists. I don't have an OP, but I'm pretty sure they took out more than a 1/2 inch worth of links for my Submariner.

Also, I am pretty sure there are guys on TRF with 8" wrists and I've never seen anyone post about this being a problem.

The oyster bracelet on my Sub I needed to add 1 link...I have 8" wrists as well...so I would assume a OP41 oyster may need a link added for you.

Do you wear it "fitted" so there is no movement on your wrist or a little loose? Low on your wrist or just above the wrist bone?

I think you will need to buy an extra link or two. I have 6 3/4” wrists and only one link was taken out.

Rolex has really gotten stingy with links as of late.

At 8” you’ll need to add a link.

Responding to my post above...

So I went to check out the box it came in to see how many links they took out, and now I'm not sure they removed any. There aren't any links in there. If they did, I would definitely have kept the links in the original box.

I might have been confused with another watch.

Friend with 8” wrists went through the same thing a few months back. You will need 1 extra link to make it work.

I'm 7.5" and I will need to make an adjustment in the clasp to take it a out 1 notch but I wear a full bracelet out the box. If you're over 7.5 you'll need a link or two, plus adjustment in the clasp to make the easylink work correctly. As a note I don't like my watches to move on my wrist so 7.5 on me is breathable but doesn't move.

Good news is a SS link does not cost that much.

I have 2 oyster bracelets and one jubilee. 7.5 inch wrist. Factory links all on and the pin micro adjustment at farthest setting and easy link open. Fits good for me. If I wanted to use easy link regularly I would need an additional link over factory and probably bring the micro adjustment in a spot or two. So at 8 inches plan on adding a link

As others have noted, you'll need the extra link. I have 8" wrists and I needed the link.
