Ordering bracelet from RSC

[Pauln]

Does anyone know if you can order Tudor bracelets for still-in-production references directly from RSC, over the phone? Or do you need to do so through an AD? I suspect the AD charges quite a bit over cost. RSC is still on their holiday break, so trying to get some info. I have a North Flag on a strap and think it’s nice, but think it may be a great watch on the bracelet. I’ve been going back and forth on selling the reference but have decided to give it a try on the bracelet first.

An AD charges list price plus tax. I've never been charged more than RUSA pricing on Rolex bracelets. I find it easier to go through an AD, personally.

Just recently I bought a jubilee bracelet for my 2007 GMT.

Direct from Rolex was £900.
Ordered via AD was £850.

AD ordered it for me on a Friday morning. Rolex sent it out special delivery next morning.

I ordered a jubilee bracelet fro my 1986 16750 in November. Both RSC and AD price were the same but the AD did the install and adjustment for free. If you order direct with RSC they will recommend getting an AD to install it or you can do it yourself.

Thanks everyone. Seems like AD is the way to go. I know they sell watches at retail but thought they might sell accessories/parts over retail. Great info.

I thought the same too but if you have a good relationship with an AD. They will help you out. I can't speak for othe te AD with no relationship with. Best to call both to compare the prices.

I bought a strap for the THBBR from an AD; it cost their list price. They had no issue selling it to me.

How much does a new SS submariner bracelet cost these days?

I enquired in early December about getting a Jubilee bracelet for my TOG directly with Rolex at St James Square London and was quoted £1006 + vat. I also enquired about a replacement bezel as the paint in the figures has worn, and I was quoted £ 1054 + vat. When I gasped at that price, he explained the bezel was white gold, and then went further to explain that that the bezel was " exchange only". That's a lot of money for a bit of black paint filling up some numerals and markers on a bezel!

I have and love my North Flag. I bought on a bracelet but also ordered the strap. The AD charges list plus tax. They don’t add to list price (at least mine didn’t). I love this watch and have it on the strap as we speak.

I think you’ll love it even more on the bracelet, which is great-looking and super comfortable.

Looks good. I stopped in the AD today and tried on one with the bracelet. I think I’ll be happy with it. She couldn’t quote the price because RSC is closed.

It depends if you're purchasing outright or trading in your old bracelet. You can call RUSA for current pricing.

Keep in mind that ADs aren't supposed to order loose parts as spares. You have to own the watch that the bracelet is going on and physically present it to them at the time of ordering. They can then order it against your current Sub serial number.

If I take a 114060 on a bracelet to a AD, will they order another bracelet ?

or do I have to ensure the 114060 is not on a bracelet when I take it in ?

I know that RUSA requires the watch be bare to order a replacement without an exchange. Not sure how they handle it in Canada.

The goal is generally going to be in minimizing spare parts floating around or being purchased solely for resale.

Yep, likewise I bought a Tudor gmt on leather. RSC sold me the bracelet at list (£600), no questions asked.

Just tell them it broke and fell in the sea?

What can they do about it???

Maybe 3 or 4 months ago my AD ordered me a glidelock no questions asked. Arrived in about a week. About a month ago they ordered me a jubilee for my 41, again no questions asked, arrived in about a week. I now have a TT on ordered, same deal, slightly longer lead time due to the holidays.
