Rado - shorten bracelet?

[hoschi71]

Hi there,

I got a Rado Ceramica Jubile from Silix, a really nice dress watch... only problem is the bracelet is too long for me, I need to remove 2 or 3 pieces.

But how????

Look at this picture:

On the left you can see one pin, with which you can open the bracelet. But then? There should be some more elements with pins or screws for removing elements but there aren't. Only this one pin. Does anyone have an idea what to do?

Hi there.

I have the opposite problem with the same watch. I need to extend my Rado Jubilee with 2 pieces. Maybe I could buy those from you if I help you to solve your problem?

As I see it you have two holes in each of the bracelet links and you need to push down both on one side to get it loose. It is small pins who will fall down when it fall apart so be aware that you don't loose anything. It is easy to do but you need to have a tool who is strong and thin enough. Otherwise you hurt the bracelet.

I have the same watch and shortened the bracelet. It was some time ago so I don't remember the exact sequence to shorten it, but I'll share what I remember. You are correct in that only the first link has a hole with a pin that you can remove. The pins for the remaining links are under the ceramics. After you remove the first link you will be able to remove the ceramic part of the next link (this is part I don't remember exactly how I performed). After the ceramic is off there is a pin that you can remove to remove the link and repeat the process with the next link.
