Rolex Datejust 16000 Jubilee Bracelet Buying Advice

Hi all,

I recently purchased a watch-only Rolex Datejust 16000 and I’m now trying to find an authentic bracelet to pair with it (namely a Jubilee 62510H with 555 endlinks). I have very little experience evaluating Rolex bracelets, so I’d really appreciate any thoughts from members who know these better than I do.

I’m currently considering the two bracelet options shown below. Both are priced in the region of €600–700.

Option 1:


Option 2:



My initial impression is that both look to be in somewhat rough condition, but I’m not confident enough to judge whether the wear is acceptable, whether the pricing is fair, or whether there are any more serious concerns.

I’d be very grateful for thoughts on:

• Overall condition and stretch (or what you'd recommend I'd need to assess this)
• Whether the clasp, links, end links, engravings/stamps, etc. look correct
• Any serious red flags that would make you avoid either one
• Whether €600-700 feels reasonable for either option given the condition

I know authentication from photos is always tough, but any guidance would be very helpful before I proceed. I’m still learning when it comes to Rolex bracelets, so please feel free to point out anything obvious that I may be missing.

Thanks in advance.

If you end up buying either of these two options, get an ultrasonic. I’m sure there is plenty of dirt and dna in those.

I also agree with Dan, they look deliberately bunched up to avoid an honest display of its stretch

Thanks all for your input! Think I'll steer clear of these ones and wait for something better - my impatience almost got the better of me!
