Question for the mechanic/machinist about vintage Rolex bracelet

Recommended Posts

So, I always wanted to ask 2 simple questions:

1) There's a way to reduce the center part of the most common aftermarket bracelet (BP, Raffle, JK etc) to have them 'slimmer' like the gen? I mean like disassemble the links and center parts, and machine them on the inner side.

if not

2) There's some factory that produce those style of bracelet?

I have thought about this myself after searching for a thin bracelet. If my understanding is correct it would be possibe but it would be a lot of work, because the midlinks and the pins that connect the whole links together would need to be modified, also rememer that the screws on the removeable links also need to be shortened.

I would say just try it and look how the bracelet is assembled and go from there.
