Worn Rolex Oyster bracelet

[8RT robert]

I have been looking at at Rolex Datejust watch which has a worn Oyster bracelet , the wear is in the joining pins which are hollow and it is 18ct gold. Can these be refurbished or is a new bracelet required ? anybody got an idea of costs involved for either option?

Its a fiddly job to get right but a good goldsmith can fill and re-drill the links. We do it fairly regularly for customers who don't want to fork out for a new bracelet. If its just the shoulder links the cost wont be huge, but chances are it'll be wearing throughout.

I would think it's worn throughout , seemed to me to be a lot of movement all over, what kind of cost if its the whole bracelet?

Can you count for me the number of pins in the bracelet? Maybe mesage me to keep the forum clean.

I would be interested in other possibly cheaper options as my mums oyster bracelet is heavily worn (20+ yrs constant use) and she's been quoted £950+ for a replacement.

I phoned the old classic watch shop the other day and the girl said a ball park of £700 for a bi metal dj bracelet.
