GMT Jubilee Adding Link
For those of you that have had to add an extra link to the jubilee bracelet, did you do it on the 6 or 12 side?

It depends on your needs. Rolex usually takes off the 6 o’clock side, but the balance on your wrist is what’s most important. It’s not a one size fits all thing, no pun intended.

To get a good fit make sure the case sits comfortably on the top of your wrist and the clasp blade (the highly polished metal part that touches the underside of your wrist) are both comfortable and go from there.
Every wrist is different and you may need to have a few tries to get the right fit for you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Try the 12 first. You almost always need more links on the 12 side than on the 6,

I'm a 6 and 4 guy (6 links on 12 o'clock and 4 at the 6 o'clock side). If you are adding a single link it will probably go to the 12 o'clock side. Some people are 5/5, but I would be surprised to see someone 4 and 6... even on watches that have straps the short side is the 6 o'clock side.

I have a 126710 and would like to get an extra link. Can I just go to my AD and order one? If so, what is retail for a ss jubilee link?

Had the link added, I now have 11 links at 12 0'clock and 8 links at 6 o'clock.
Bill, yes I had my AD order one and put it on. Does the AD put loctite on when adjusting bracelets? |
