A Sport Rolex Bracelet
A Rolex bracelet like the oyster band, is built to endure many different kinds of environments. It holds the most affluent accessory securely on your wrist. Unfortunately, without the appropriate care and maintenance, with time, even the bracelet of a luxury watch will stretch and break apart. This damage will occur due to a variety of conditions the watch will withstand within its lifetime such as:
- Sweat
- Perfume
- Lotions
- Skin cells accumulated throughout the years
- Contact with harsh chemicals
- Harsh movements while wearing the watch
Another common reason for wear on this particular band is due to the fact that 18k gold is only 75% pure; therefore, when chemicals or acids build up on the bracelet, it slowly begins to oxidize the gold and even make it change color.
Rolex Might
Many athletes like Roger Federer and Tiger Woods are seen playing while wearing their Rolex . This shows the strength of a Rolex Bracelet. It endures constant movement and even bouncing and sprinting from one side of the court to another during a tennis match. Even with its durability; the Rolex bracelet, with time, constant activity and sweat, will need the loving care that comes with Gray & Sons’ bracelet repair and rebuild.
Rolex - Generation to Generation
We received this Rolex from a man named Peter. He called to inquire about repairing his watch’s bracelet. Peter believed it was just a matter of tightening the pins. It turned out that his father had passed away and left Peter his favorite watch - the Submariner .
Oyster Bracelet Link & Fliplock
Peter tells us that one day in the middle of playing a double’s tennis match with his father and his brothers he felt the watch slip off his hand. Luckily he was able to catch it before it completely came off. He noticed that one side of the fliplock on the bracelet had come loose.
He googled bracelet repair and Gray & Sons was featured on the first page with excellent reviews. Our Gray & Sons swiss watch specialists followed by explaining who’s hands his watch would be in. We assured him we could rescue his bracelet so he could be able to continue wearing the watch his father had left him.
This is Gray & Sons
He was skeptical about sending his watch to a company he had never heard of before when we offered him our easyship box . I also mentioned how the exclusive Gray & Sons catalog would be included in the box so that he could get to know us before sending his watch.
Gray & Sons has been in business for over 41 years. With our in-house Swiss-trained watchmakers who have combined experience of over 150 years in order to handle your timepiece as if it were our own. We have our prime pieces of watches , jewelry , sterling silver , and tea sets, photographed and updated monthly. The items are placed on the catalog in life-size, which makes it much more convenient to fit you.
Saving Your Bracelet
Fliplock
Broken pin
In order to get his watch back to mint condition, we would need to replace a few parts of this Rolex Oyster Bracelet. The watchmaker examined each pin along the bracelet followed by the links. This two-tone oyster bracelet was stretched and worn. The bracelet repair was very complex but not impossible for our master watchmakers.
There was one specific link that had been abused. The solution to this would be to replace the bent pin on the flip-lock and the mistreated link. He immediately knew he would have to remove the gold part of the damaged link in order to separate it from the stainless steel parts of the link. This would make the original Rolex Oyster link replacement fit in perfectly.
Link and Fliplock
He followed the repair by removing the pin located at the flip-lock and made sure the bent part had not caused any further damage to the bracelet.

Once all the parts were replaced and reassembled, it was passed on to the polisher. The polisher made sure the gold had a shiny finish and the stainless steel had a perfect satin finish.
The Rolex Crown
This process only took a few weeks to complete. Peter now wears the bracelet safely securing the Submariner to his wrist. He was grateful he could keep the bracelet with so much sentimental value attached to it.
