Can’t Go Direct to RSC Anymore?

[MRBolton]

Just saw a Facebook post where someone is claiming you can no longer send your watch to the RSC directly; you have to go through an AD. Can anyone else confirm this?

This will be a huge change if so, especially for those who don’t have an AD near them or a bad relationship with that AD. Furthermore, it introduces price complications. My local AD in the past has charged/quoted a slight premium over the price I can get accessories from the RSC (e.g. links, Tudor fabric straps, etc…).
