First watch, school me on bracelets
Hey guys
I've been on my quest do my first watch and i love the hidden clasp Rolex bracelet. Whichever watch I purchase must have this. I've narrowed it down to two choices, the daydate or the datejust. Do you guys have any info on the bracelet? Like is it able to fit on older styles of these two watches? And if so, how would one cost? Thanks guys I appreciate the help |

I'm not sure as my DJ has the jubilee bracelet with the micro adjustments which I love. I've never tried on a super jubilee so I don't know how it feels on but I like the option of the micro adjustments.

The Datejust has had the hidden clasp on the SS models for several years.. A new one runs around $1,500 (yes, no typos, 1/10th the cost of the DD). New hidden clasp bracelets will fit on older Datejusts if you don't go back more than the '90s - the cases on older models are not compatible with newer bracelets..

I just spoke to mayor jewelers in atlanta and they told me that this is not possible. I'm assuming they are mistaken

Super Jubiliee does not have micro adjustments, however the links are smaller so you should be able to get a decent fit.

You will have a hard time sourcing one in the US as no AD or RSC should sell you a non replacement bracelet. They will only sell you the model for your watch.
Might have luck in Europe or with a non official source. |

If ATL area is your base, try Peter @ Ermitage, or Jake @ Swiss Watch Expo. I would go into each store though - talking over the phone with experts leaves too much room for miscommunication.

Make some international calls. You may get lucky.
