My wife had 3 links removed from her lady's DJ. It's a jubilee bracelet. Initially, she had two links removed, but it was still too big, sliding up and down her wrist. The problem is that with 3 links removed, it's a bit too tight. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the help.

the jubilee bracelet is though since it doesn't have the small holes to move from like the oyster does, all you have to play with is the links so that is your only way, its ok if its slightly loose.

It was surprisingly a lot loose. the watch literally moved around a few inches. It wore like a bracelet with only 2 links out..

Oyster bracelet not an option?

Not sure. Where can I purchase an oyster bracelet. I really like the look of the jubilee on the DJ and got my wife to agree. Of course, now I'm wondering if it was a mistake.

So, it sounds like the only adjustments with a jubilee is made with whole links? I didn't see any other way when looking at the bracelet.

You might have to take the watch into an RSC or just ask your AD for a band replacement.

What a drag. A nice watch that doesn't fit. I wonder why they don't have the micro-adjusters.

Same problem with the President bracelet which comes along with the DD. With these kinda bracelets, it's always a gamble on the fit factor.

One link off and it's too tight.....slap that link back on and it's too loose.

Sometimes you have a wrist which just isn't the win-win type!!

It really surprises me. It wouldn't have surprised me if a watch bracelet didn't fit me given I've got really small wrists (just a tad bigger than my wife's). But I never thought that my wife, whose wrists are within the "normal" range for a woman would have trouble with the fitting. (Yes, that would mean that I have women's wrists.

)

I thought it would. I think my DJ does. It's kind of a bummer. She can wear it, it's just a bit tighter than she'd like.

Very true, and that's why I have no problems admitting my wrists are small. Wow, this thread could completely go in a different direction now.

So what else is new?

You could take out three links and take a diuretic (water pill). Should fit nicely.

What the rest have said.........

There is actually a solution. According to an extended Rolex price list I have, you can buy quarter links for the new style Jubilee bracelet. Have your AD order one or two for you. I cannot remember what the price for the 1/4 links is offhand since I haven't brought the list to work, but I can look it up later.

Thats great Bo, and some handy info for everyone out there.

Also, congrats on 12k posts.

SPACE-DWELLER · 28 January 2008, 10:18 PM

Thanks!

I am quite sure I read "1/4 link" in that price list of mine. But I have never seen a Jubilee quarter link. I wonder how they look like?
