Does anyone know when solid link bracelets will be available for sports models?
So far all models EXCEPT SS sports have solid links, they have already done this in datejusts (oyster) so I think the next logical action is a heavier bracelet for Subs, Exp's, YM's, Daytonas and GMT's....do you know anything about this possibility?

Rolex are too smart (and too damn miserly) to give away anything. As long as their sports line-up sells like the proverbial hot cakes, they aren't going to bother giving away all that extra metal (be it SS or gold as in TT) for anyone or anything. They only introduced it in their new TOG and DJ lines 'cause those were slow movers and were in dreadful need of some improvement and rejuvenation. Cheers - JJ

Just out of interest, what sort of price premium do people think solid gold centre links would put on the price of a current TT sports bracelet?
cheers, Andy |

A SS OEM bracelet goes for $800... I can only guess a TT one would likely be close to double that. |

It is all a guess, but Johnny seems pretty close to on the mark.

I think for everyday use, hollow links work just fine. |

And after wearing the Olympus for a while, my GMT looks a bit small when I first put it on again.
