Everest Now Offers Aftermarket Links for Rolex Bracelets
Most Rolex owners don’t think about bracelet links… until they have to. You misplace them in your questionably organized watch drawer. You inherit a watch that’s a link short. You gain some weight and suddenly your Submariner doesn’t sit right anymore. That’s when the search begins.
Collectors have a few choices: go directly through Rolex and wait weeks or months, overpay for a secondhand OEM link (if you can find the right one), or gamble on an aftermarket option that may or may not fit—and could put your bracelet security at risk.
That's why we built a better option. Everest now offers high-quality aftermarket replacement links for Rolex Oyster bracelets, designed to match your reference and get your watch back on your wrist.
Made to Match—904L Steel, Brushed or Polished
Everest’s new replacement links are machined from 904L stainless steel, the same alloy used in modern Rolex bracelets. That matters for more than just bragging rights—it ensures the link won’t just fit your bracelet, it’ll match it to the same standard of strength and corrosion resistance.
Each link is reference-specific. Submariner, Explorer II, and Oyster Perpetual links come fully brushed. GMT-Master II references like the 116710 and 126710 feature polished center links, just like the originals. You’ll get exactly what your watch calls for.
They’re sold individually, and each link includes the correct screw—ready to install. Visually and mechanically, they’re almost indistinguishable from Rolex links. You’d need a loupe to tell the difference. We’ve tried.
Most Aftermarket Links Aren’t Worth Trusting
If you’ve ever browsed eBay for a bracelet link, you know what’s out there. Unlabeled parts. Odd finishing. Listings with no clear compatibility or size info. At best, they don’t match. At worst, they put your watch at risk.
And even if you do track down a real OEM link, prices are often north of $100—sometimes closer to $300 depending on the reference.
Everest’s replacement links are $55. No guesswork, no question about after-sale service—just a purpose-built, properly machined link for Rolex owners who want their bracelet to look right and feel secure.
Current Rolex References Covered
These links are made for modern Oyster bracelets—and they’re reference-specific. That includes:
- 126710 (GMT-Master II — polished center)
- 116710 (GMT-Master II — polished center)
- 16710 (GMT-Master II — brushed, solid-link bracelet only)
- 126610, 124060 (modern Submariners — brushed)
- 116610, 114060 (Ceramic-era Submariners — brushed)
- 116600 (Sea-Dweller 4000 — brushed)
- 124300 (Oyster Perpetual 41 — brushed)
- 216570 (Explorer II — brushed)
- 16570 (Explorer II — brushed, solid-link bracelet only)
If you’re wearing a five-digit reference like the 16570 or 16710, be sure your bracelet uses solid center links—our replacement won’t sit as securely on older hollow-link styles.
A Small Link, A Big Difference
When a watch doesn’t fit, it doesn’t get worn. And if you’re someone who actually wears their Rolex, being one link short isn’t a small issue. It’s the kind of thing that keeps a great watch in the box.
Get your bracelet back to the length it was meant to be: visually correct, mechanically secure, and ready to wear.
If your reference isn’t listed yet, sit tight—we’re already working on expanding compatibility.
