DJ Jubilee half links/quarter links?

Hi Guys, I was just wondering if there are any photos or details on the new rolex half/quarter bracelet links? I remember seeing a few posts here about it but I can't find them now. These are supposed to be used for small adjustments on the jubilee bracelet when the standard link removal/addition is too big. It is meant to provide a better "fit" for those who feel the watch is either too tight or too small when removing/adding the existing links. If you have any information on this I would appreciate it. Thanks!

You will need to order this special link from your AD.

It is actually a link-and-a-half, so if you need to add a half link, you remove 1 link and replace it with the 1 1/2 link. If you need to shorten by 1/2 link, you need to remove 2 links first..

and the ladies version only comes in a link and a quarter. It looks just like a link, but only slightly bigger in length.

Rolex made 1 1/4 links for the DJ. They cost 70 $ each.

A norma link costs 50 $, and the whole Jubilee bracelet (new-style) cost 1,275 $.

Digging this up just in case for my incoming watch but I wanted to be clear that these one and a quarter or one in a half links are available for the newer style super jubilee band? This info is very hard to find.

Scott, you won't need them. Your watch has a full length bracelet.

The men's link is also a 1 1/4 link. I purchased one for my TT RG DJ solid Jubilee band and it worked great. After taking a link out, the band was just a little tight. The AD removed a second link and added the 1 1/4. It was a perfect fit.

The 1 1/4 link in TT is $160.00. I have recently parted with the DJ and will be selling the 1 1/4 link in the sales corner soon.

Oh I am sure I will be taking a bunch out with my 6.5" wrist as I do with every watch but the point of these are the ability to adjust to a size between removing a link or not. I am totally spoiled with the GMT microadjust doing exactly what I want, even sometimes on my NATO's I wish there were another hole in between some.

Thanks for the teaser on the other thread!

I got my jubilee today, but didn't know the quarter link existed.... I am just between two links-fitting. With two links it is too loose and with one it is too tight. It is a super jubilee bracelet, but they exist for these as well, right?

The "1 1/4" links are 10 mm in length, vs the standard 8 mm.

I got 2 of them when I got my TT SJ and I use one, with the other 'just in case'

I highly recommend them for anyone who just wishes their SJ were a tad less snug.

Had my watch for about 3 weeks and not entirely happy with the fit, slightly too big with all links in and slightly too tight with one out.

So I popped into the AD I purchased my DJ from earlier today, as it's a new watch they've ordered 2 of these free of charge.

Normal UK price if anyone is interested would be £63 each for the SS

DJJon - Can you tell me where you purchased your 1 1/4 links? I have a two-tone with a Jubliee bracelet and can't seem to locate them for sale on line. Thank you.

You will probably need to visit an AD to purchase these, I found very little info online except from this site.

Finally found time to visit my AD to pick up the 1.25 links

I've removed 3 normal links and replaced them with 2 1.25 links, I love the fit, perfect now.

Don't really notice them in the flesh although they look quite large in the pictures.

Looks nice! Are you sure yours are 1.25? On 20mm understand they only come in 1.5
size (part #32-23065)

Well I was convinced until this post as although it's only a few mm it's a noticeable change in length as the watch no longer slides about, if 1.5 links surely it would have been the same as before.

Also just measured the links, 10mm instead of the 8mm standard links
