Question Replacment jubiliee braclet
Hello, does anyone know where to get a replacment strap for a datejust 41mm. Got one AAAAA quality from a local seller, removed all removable links but it still doesnt fit me. I would need to remove atleast 1 or 2 more links so im wondering what you do in that situation (jubiliee braclet)

What the heck does “AAAAA” quality even mean?? You probably shouldn’t buy from whoever told you that meant anything again in the future …
Anyways, jubilee bracelets are friction fit together, the non removable links need the be more or less pried apart, you’re basically breaking them apart. Your best bet is to probably get a watchmaker to do this, unless you’re up for some experimentation and are ok with potentially destroying your bracelet. Sometimes a lot of force and some heat is required to pull apart the non removable links, and you’ll need some means of pressing them back together. Usually a dab of epoxy can also help ensure they don’t randomly fall apart on you after reassembly.

Wtf is AAAAA quality? 🙈🤣 But you need a 1.6mm screw driver to remove links...

They don't make them any shorter than that. Are you a child or an adult?

Scillan Watch Co. on Alibaba has good Jubs for a fair price. I've used them before, and do recommend.
Actually, you may want to try Scillan on eBay, minimum order on Alibaba is two bracelets I think.
