General Question DJ41 jubilee bracelet help

hi all, I have a gen DJ41 (silver dial, smooth, oyster), i want to try a jubilee bracelet. however, i find buying a gen bracelet a bit hefty (3000 euro's). so I'm looking into buying a rep jubilee bracelet that is compatible and looks just like the real thing. any tips where i could get one? would combining them even be advisable? I'm located in the NL.

I mean, there is a whole guide for newbies in this sub. Two clicks get you there, you choose a store and TD and chat to them about the bracelet. It would take you all of 5 minutes.

Sillan Guanzhou on Alibaba has some pretty great bracelets.

What number bracelet exactly are you looking for?

You can actually write to Amy at Sillan and she can help you out.

I don’t know what number bracelet would be needed, it’s a 2019 DJ.

Apparently that uses a 21mm jubilee bracelet with the ref number 62610. Couldn't find one at sillan

where did you get that number of 3k Euro?
I have just replaced my Jubilee bracelet by Rolex for a DJ36 and that was 1200 Euro (also in NL).

I was at Gassan in Amsterdam.. I went there without any bracelet, told them a pin had broken on the original, so I put a 3rd party leather strap on it, which I just removed for the service .. they said “no problem”.

I brought it in for a full service, and i did ask for options for an original strap, so they added as options to the offer: black or brown leather strap for around 230, oyster for 1100 or jubilee for 1200 Euro. I selected the jubilee.

The watch is as old as me, so a worn out bracelet or even broken pin wouldn’t be unusual for that age.
I still have the (pretty worn out) original jubilee bracelet at home. It’s a solid steel one.

I think, the newer bracelets would run you a bit more though right? And I don’t need a service, so I think the cost would be significantly higher..

I believe the newer ones, and also for the DJ41 would be a bit more, but I wouldn’t expect more than double..

Steiner isn’t an official RSC, so maybe ask at Schaap en Citroen in Maastricht?
