mlfloyd Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 Hello Members. Where can I buy an after market SS half-link for my Datejust? When I perform a web search on it, the returns (eBay included) only reference whole links. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alligoat Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 That is a full link- jubilee links are smaller than an oyster link- about 1/2 as big. You might try rafflesdials.com http://rafflesdials.com/two-pcs-steel-screw-adjustable-links-for-mens-20mm-vintage-rolex-watch-jubilee-band-bracelet/ maybe it'll work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlfloyd Posted September 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 Thanks Alligoat. I was looking for a thinner link, not a full one. The links vary in height because the bracelet is tapered. I need a link that is half the width. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 all the links with screws in them are the thinner links- they're the same width as the clasp since some of them fit inside the clasp. If you have the newer bracelet with the hidden clasp, you might have to order a whole bracelet and scavenge the links from it and hope that they fit your bracelet.

mlfloyd Posted September 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 I have the bracelet with the hidden clasp. The band fits tight. When I add a link, the case migrates off-center of the wrist. Remove a link and it’s too snug. I’m in between, which is why I inquired about a “half-link”.

alligoat Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 That's the problem with the hidden clasp- micro adjustment isn't one of it's features. I ran into it with a gen DD with the oyster band- it even had a half link, but I still have to wear it slightly loose. Older style clasps have better adjustment.

mymanmatt Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 Be sure your buckle is centered. Close the buckle , hold the watch by the case in front of you. If the buckle is not level, or close to level, remove a link from the side hanging down and put it on the other side. Then ck it again. That will change the fit completely. May help solve your problem. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlfloyd Posted September 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 Thanks Matt, I was using that method. I can’t remove another link or the fit will be too snug when the wrist swells. I’ll have to live with the off-center fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
