1.25 link for President bracelet

For anyone interested, I bought this from AD for my 118238 yellow gold DD. It’s identified in the parts catalog now as “Extension link XL.” It adds a couple mm over normal link. Most AD’s know nothing about it. Price was $700+tax.

I am not selling this. For informational purposes only.

I've noticed that for many of the platinum bracelet parts they don't even list the prices.

Yeah I must say plat is a bit of a pain for stuff like this. Everything is a special order in from Swiss etc.

It's a bit strange since gold has seen much more volatile swings in prices than platinum and yet they list prices for all the gold parts.

Oof!

My AD said in the past he’s had customers who simply can’t find a good fit and have to pass. Mine was tolerable before, but now it’s perfect. Rolex should educate its dealers. Many are unaware.

Yes, has been since it was introduced. Not many are informed of its existence.

Got this a few weeks ago for my DD36. Made the fit so much better. Took a few weeks to arrive. I must have been lucky, because the dealer new about it instantly.
