Interesting new EZ link / half-link

Post by hoppyjr » Tue May 23, 2023 10:19 am

I just found this and ordered one for my GMT. Looks like a new company that makes an aftermarket version of the Rolex EZ-link expandable link.

It gives a 5mm adjustment and is currently available for 41mm Tudor models, with pre-order available for BB58 models.

They have for Zenith too.

Rolex version “coming soon”


When mine arrives I’ll post my opinion.

$120 seems reasonable if it’s decent quality.

It also appears these folks have an Omega link in development.

I’ve been wondering about that solution, I did get some half links for the Tudor OEM bracelets from Uncle Seiko but never tried this can’t wait to see how you like it👍👍

That really does seem reasonable, and you can bet the quality
will be just fine sir. ;) :salute: I think it’s going to rock when it gets
to your door and then on the wrist. :headbang:

I can’t wait to hear what you have to say, and will wish you a
GIANT congratulations here ahead of time on this !!!

I bought a cheap watch from a crazy man
Floating down canal
It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now
Now you may be thinking that I was had
But this watch is never wrong
