Advisory : Number of Links on Rolex Bracelet (refer to post 46)

[seadweller]

Hi...I am a newbie to this forum. I just bought a new GMT master II 116710LN. Can you advise me how do they cut the bracket? Currently my watch is too big for my hand and i am considering to remove 1-2 bracket link. If cut, you will not have any bracket to lengthen your watch if need to, right?

they do not cut your bracelet to resize,
they merely remove the unrequired links via a screw on the side of the link
have a look and you will see it...
you will then have the "spare" links should you require to resize the bracelet once more

As quoted by DarkAngel earlier..
However after removing the some links and bracelet is still too loose.. If you must ... absolutley must then you can bring to one of the shops in Landmark to cut the dead links.. Those without the screw at the sides..
Precautions.. after cutting you can only lengthen with those "spare" links (+screw) but the cut links cannot be replaced.
I do not recommend thou

You can just remove the extra links that can be removed,easily done by your AD. No need to saw. It's only for extreme cases...

Number of fixed links on the Sub C bracelet?

Can I check on the number of fixed links on the Sub c? I think its now 3 on each side right?

not that it matters much since I can use 4 on each side . but just wondering aloud.

oh btw, for those interested in a side by side pictorial of the GMTIIC and the SubC, can go here

Any comments on Sub C vs the Sub LV c?

Bracelet Links

Bros, if I need to buy additional bracelet links as my current Rolex 6694 cannot fit me anymore and I do not have the additional required links, can I just buy additional links? From where? Estimated how much? or do I have to change the entire bracelet? Thanks.

the last time i bought a 6694 link, it cos me 70 from RSC. now i think price went up already.

if buy from preown shop, how to tell if the link is real or otherwise.

the last check on one of the preown shop selling 6694 link, the price is lower compared to RSC.

you can buy extra link from preown shops
price should be similar to what rsc sells

a link from 2nd hand.... around $50

[patuick]

hehe.... yup!

stumbled upon it while looking for extra link for sub bracelet and decided to "horde up" some extra links for both!

[Seansean828]

now rsc is selling oyster bracelet link for $200 per link

[fatt]

last week i was at lucky plaza top hour. it cost $45 to put an extra link on my friend's sub bracelet. now he is very happy wearing it. oh the link should be a used one. before, i was thinking of going to rsc. thought the old price still apply at a $100 per link. now it's at $200. hmm

[Oceanklassik]

$200 for a STAINLESS STEEL watch bracelet link is "Quite reasonable" ?!

*fainted*

[fatt]

furthermore, he has recommended polishing at $75 but must put 3 days. but at the end i just add the link and rush off.

[watch passion]

aiyah should ask me mah. i got 7 bracelets
