With our master jewelers’ expertise in both gemstones and watches, we bring the intricacies of the Rolex craft to your attention, highlighting the delicate process that ensures a perfect fit for your timepiece.

Understanding the Rolex GMT Master II Bracelet

Rolex, a prestigious brand synonymous with excellence and precision, has meticulously crafted the GMT Master II bracelet. Depending on the model, your Rolex GMT Master II could feature an Oyster, Oysterlock, or Jubilee bracelet, each with unique adjustments.

Features such as the Easylink comfort extension link, the hallmark of the Oyster bracelets, and the Glidelock clasp make this timepiece as comfortable as it is impressive. Both these systems allow fine adjustments for optimal fit.

Tools You’ll Need to Adjust Your Bracelet

To delicately adjust the size of your Rolex GMT Master II bracelet, you’ll require a few specific tools, available at most watch repair kits:

• A small screwdriver or pin pusher
• A bracelet holder
• A spring bar tool

Ensure you are using these tools on a soft, scratch-proof surface to avoid damaging your precious timepiece.

Step-By-Step Guide to Adjusting Your Bracelet

Preparation Before Beginning

Before commencing the process, lay out all your tools, ensuring they’re clean and ready for use. Have a secure and clean workspace prepared to avoid losing any small parts or causing any accidental damage.

Adding or Removing Links

• Removing the bracelet from the watch: Use the spring bar tool to remove the bracelet from the watch case.

• Locating the screw/pin: Depending on your bracelet type, find the screw or pin to adjust.

• Adjusting the bracelet: Carefully unscrew or push the pin to add or remove links according to your wrist size. Remember to store any removed links safely for potential future use.

Using the Easylink Comfort Extension Link and Glidelock Clasp

If fine adjustments are needed, utilize the Easylink or Glidelock systems for added comfort and perfect fit. After making your adjustments, re-attach the bracelet to the watch case.
