Rolex: Changing the Band

[McLoverly]

Rolex Owners,

I have a Datejust with an older style jubilee clasp. I've found that I don't wear my watch as much as I should because I don't like how the clasp hits. I'm interested in getting a newer style bracelet with the hidden clasp. Is this something a Rolex AD could do for me? What is the current price of a SS Jubilee? I've been thinking of fitting my watch with an aftermarket bracelet for daily wear and keeping the original in case I want or need it later. Has anyone done this?

Please share your thoughts and experiences

They're easy to change but the width of the lugs has to be the same (ends). I'd expect around 2k for a bracelet, I just got one for my Breitling and it was that price. I did have an eBay version on it for a while that was about $40 but it got scratched easily.

I also have a Rolex sea-dweller but I've never changed the bracelet.
