Oyster bracelet question

Can I buy replacement screws for additional links for my 78360? I noticed one of the screws I have is miscolored and for some reason it's bothering me.



Edit: I accidentally posted this in another forum. Please disregard. :)

AFAIK the ADs only sell whole elements, not only screws, and if they do, they charge the whole element

Bye

Thanks m8

I thought that Rolex Dallas won't service anything over 30+ years old. This is what literally ever "expert" on my watch has let me know.

You're just looking for screws.. That's different than asking them if they will work on a vintage dial and movement..

If you want it serviced then there are two good independent Rolex Service Centers, one in San Fran and one in Chicago, that would be worth looking into..

Rolex Service Ctr
210 Post St Ste 705, San Francisco, CA 94108

(415) 982-9830

Dallas doesn't carry this bracelet, or parts for this bracelet.

I am amazed at this..

The 78360 was used on the EXP and GMT watches up until ~1990.

In any event, Rolex screws are not something out of the ordinary..
Measure them and try here.

Or try practically any watchmaker that works on Rolex watches...

I am sure your AD watch maker can sell you a couple of screws.

I'll check on that today. I want to make sure they're authentic but I'll be damned if I'm buying a extra link w/ a screw for 200 bucks
