Hi Guys,

I sold my watch, but the buyer has some questions on the Numbers of links. Can someone tell me how many normal links I have on my watch? Its a 116506 platinum daytona. Cames from the AD with 12 links?

Thanx you Guys?

RichM · 6 November 2018, 05:56 AM

Looks like you got 10 there. 6/4. Might even be 9. 5/4 plus the EZ link.

jinikari01 · 6 November 2018, 06:01 AM

That's all the links it came from original purchase?
Did you have links removed when you purchased from AD to resize?

Last years I had 10 several watches with the same links. It makes hard to recognize whether its steel or platinum. Only 0,6 gram differences between the two links. Make this sense?

If i purchased the daytona from you and it was missing platinum links i'd be a bit upset as well.

Hopefully you get this sorted with the buyer but those links are not cheap.

Looks like you're missing one from each side. Being that they're platinum...ouch.

I agree. I believe when his AD removed links to resize, they may have kept them. Just my guess.

Watchfinder ‘stole’ my white gold links twice.

It is a common thing that some unscrupulous dealers do as gold and platinum links are very very expensive !

I recently purchased 36mm TT DJ and when I got the watch back home. I noticed the dealer "forgot" place 4 of my removed links back in the box.
The keyword from my dealer was the watchmaker "forgot" to put it back. LOL.

Basically thats theft and I would never do business with that person again.

05carbondrz · 6 November 2018, 06:14 AM

I’m curious why you couldn’t just count the links yourself?

because some of us don't know whats considered a true link and whats not. I had this issue before with the half links and the removable vs non removable.

Nikrnic · 6 November 2018, 06:22 AM

Looks like 5 and 4. I guess your not sure about the easy link that looks like a regular link, therefore not removable ?

I'm counting 9 + EZ link.

gt0279a · 6 November 2018, 06:32 AM

Yep 9. 3 missing

.

Oyster 78596 for PT Daytona is initially delivered with 13 links including easylink (so it's 12 "real" links)

From these links you should have 3 fixed and 2 removable on 6h side , and 3 fixed and 4 removable (+ easylink) on the 12h side.

You seem to miss 3 removable links. MSRP for one of them is around 1800$ ...

Pardon the thread jack, but what’s the name of the technical guide this came from and where can they be purchased for modern Rolexes?

Thank you all��

Chiboy · 6 November 2018, 08:58 AM

I just looked at mine. 6 on the 12 o'clock side, plus an EZ link. 4 on the 6 o'clock side. Plus two full links that are removed.

FWIW, I miscounted at first (it's easier to count links from the outside than the inside) and about had a heart attack.

envuks · 6 November 2018, 09:56 AM

I count 9 links. I believe it would have come with 11 new. (Yes I posted before I read the thread and shouldn’t have done that)

Seaotter · 6 November 2018, 12:01 PM

Here in Europe PT 950 removable link for Day-Date 40 mm Ref. 228206 & 228396TBR

I’m thinking of selling off my two extra links and paying down the mortgage.

shaunylw · 6 November 2018, 12:56 PM

Ez links do not get counted nor do endlinks. Just the ones that wiggle lol.

Endlinks (between watch lugs) to the first screwed link is ± € 11.000 for Day-Date 40 mm Ref. 228206 & 228396TBR.

6 links on the 6 o'clock side + Endlinks
7 links on the 12 o'clock side + Endlinks

Roughly € 22.000
Without screwed links and Crownclasp ....

Conclusion:

Platinum is not the cheapest material in the world.

Quite the quagmire. I hope it has a happy ending for all parties involved. By the way, platinum and stainless steel links are easily distinguishable when compared.
