Would the bracelet make a difference ?

Hi all

I have been thinking for some time about getting a second rolex potentially and realised recently that what I really like is the oyster bracelet (in two tones) so was wondering if it is possible to just buy the oyster bracelet and change it when I want with my current datejust ?
And how difficult it is to change it myself?

Sure, you can just buy an oyster bracelet ๐Ÿ‘ I wouldnโ€™t try to install it but others might. If you buy it from Rolex theyโ€™ll do it no charge ๐Ÿ˜Œ

Ok i did not know thanks for the clarification! so it can be sold separately from Rolex

I will contact them to know about the pricing and the required tooling. I donโ€™t mind them doing it but as I would like to inter change it when I want easiest is to know how I can do it myself instead of having to visit them each time tho Kev

Sounds good ๐Ÿ˜Œ some call the fluted bezel with oyster bracelet the Hodinkee Datejust

I was actually also not sure how well it would look like on a fluted bezel. Kev

Oops! Posted this to wrong item. You will need a double spring bar tool, which an AD and Rolex would use; not that expensive and a good investment. Also buy a couple of spare forks, which are a little delicate. Clive ...  

Excellent
