Permanent link removal - 1601 jubilee oyster 2-tone (early 70s)

Because I can't reply to my prior thread (sorry to jam-up the forum):

Went to the Rolex HQ here in NYC, and they said that they would remove a permanent link (my 1601 2-tone early 70s oval jubilee band is kind of stretched and as tight as it can get, and I'm a really skinny/tall dude with thin wrists, so it's still loose). A few questions (have been looking here and other forums but haven't found a consistent response):

1. does removal devalue the watch?
2. if the link is removed/destroyed, would it possible later on to add another (OEM from Rolex)? I understand there will be a tapering issue, but my OCD only flares up once a week or so...
3. how much tighter could it get? i need like 1/4" or so...

I usually wear my watch slightly loose, but I don't want this replacement (my other one was stolen) to wear too quickly.

Any other thoughts? Thanks!!!

Thanks!
