Bracelet recommendations for the Rolex Oysterdate Precision 6466
Hey guys,
I'm looking for a new bracelet for the Rolex Oysterdate Precision 6466. The original strap would have been a 78350 17mm with 562 endpieces. Finding one of these used online seems to be very hard. Most of the bracelets I see are the 19mm versions. Does anyone know of any bracelets that would very closely resemble the original for under $100? Or where I can find this used for a relatively nice price? The help would be appreciated, thanks! |

The one you mention is not the original, but a modern equivalent, and probably very pricy purchased new (as much as the value of the watch!). You could try to look for a vintage 17mm riveted Oyster bracelet (not sure if these are even marked)....but I wouldn't stress over it. It can be worn on a nice leather, croco, or ostrich strap very well.
Here is my 6020 Speedking with 17mm between the lugs:

I wouldn't buy an aftermarket oyster bracelet. There is a 17mm jubilee for sale over on TZ for $400

Guys I need some quick advice. Would this strap fit my 6466? I'm quite sure this is a 17mm...
Also, if I buy this for around $250 from Argentina, would I have to pay any customs/taxes etc on this over the price I pay to buy it? Also why do those endlinks have that weird wire?? Is it because there isnt a pin to hold it together? Thanks! |

Hey everyone, so I bought the above bracelet, and unfortunately its too small! Would anyone know what the part number for an extra link on this would be? Also, this is a tapered bracelet, so should I be looking for the smallest link or the biggest? Here is a picture of the whole bracelet.

You have a few options. You can get an adjustable Speidel band (they make bands that are adjustable from 16mm to 21mm). Or you can search eBay for 17mm watch bands. I found this one pretty quickly:

I just wanted to bump this post. As I mentioned above, I bought the bracelet pictured and it is too small. There are not enough links and I want to buy and extra two links or so. Does anyone know where I could source them? Either original or aftermarket works for me.
Thanks! |
