I took the bracelet to the Rolex store
And they did the job
And......did it for free!!
It took a while but have got it back
It was too difficult for me

You need to pry apart the smaller connecting links, then remove links, the re-attach links and bend them back down to secure again. I put the bracelet face down on a big leather mat to prevent any marks...

That looks insanely complicated.

So I suggest you contact Adrian in UK or Misiekped in New York. Strodda in texas is very smart and detail oriented. You could even ask Unreformed66 at Homage Forum he is brilliant with movements. Tickleshoes is a smart and talented guy and Tripdog in Rouen France deals with lots of Gen Rolex.

After over 5 years and 100 watches I have worked with everyone and know who is great, who is mediocre and who sucks!

You could also join Rolex Forum and ask since this is Genuine. I know there is the best Bracelet guy in Hong Kong but that might be expensive.

Thank you I will contact one of them
So annoying if I cant find the solution myself
Thanks for yr help

I have a couple of those construction in varying styles. I used a pin pusher to simply push out one of the pins in a link. It was quite easy.

Mine was not a gen so it probably is built differently. It appears that @bobandshawn knows the secret.

Thanks Bob

Feel free to use pixelsbin.com.

Oh and HB caches the images locally so if you attach pics here or link pics here they stay here regardless if other sites go down.
