I love my Frankenwatch
Great job! Once you buy it it’s yours to do with, as you like! Half link. Monster. Frankenwatch... what a croc. That’s not a Franken.
This, is a Frankenwatch. My 126710 with a glide lock clasp and bracelet from my Sub. Brushed center links and an adjustable clasp. Makes a better look, feel and fit for me. Rock on.

Congrats and glad it’s a better fit.
If it is such a big deal to add a half link to a watch that did not come with one, I wonder what RSC would say during a service? Would they actually care / remove the link? |

The Ceramic Sub bracelet 97200 will fit the 116710LN, 116710BLNR and the 126710BLRO. I have personally affixed mine to each of those and the fit is perfect. There are several threads on it. Quite a few of us have done it.  I’ve not tried any other bracelets, because the goal for me was brushed center links and glide lock.

Great minds think alike. I just did the same with my exp I. I also tried many different configurations, but the half link on six was the perfect fit. I forgot I ordered the half link awhile back. I happened to find it cleaning out the watch drawer. Lucky me. Enjoy that great explorer.

I did exactly the same to mine. Couldn’t get the right fit. On the 6 O clock side either 4 or 5 links didn’t help. I explained the problem to the AD and ordered a half-link which went onto the 6 O clock side. The result - perfection. The most comfortable Rolex I’ve ever owned.
The attitude from your AD - was it just one person who perhaps was having a bad day? |
