New 16710 - link short

[ddaly12]

I just took delivery of an F serial 16710 with box and papers. I opened the box and went to put it on and realized it's a hair too tight. I can just barely close the clasp. I looked to see if the clasp setting could be expanded, but it's on the widest setting already. I have a 7 1/4 inch wrist, never had an issue fitting a watch with all bracelet links. I'm pretty sure this piece had a link removed, but that was not part of the delivery package.

I'm very annoyed that I didn't confirm full bracelet prior to purchase. I'm going back to the seller today (Capetown) to see what they can do. Maybe send a spare link (at cost?). We'll see.

Any advice from TRF? Other than the obvious... Confirm details!

Worst part is, now I have to wait to get this resolved to wear the damn thing!
