Have you had a chance to speak with the AD where it was purchased?
Interested in hearing the explanation.

Its had to fathom that the AD would have thought this would go unnoticed and unchallenged - 25% of the bracelet missing? Surely there must be an explanation - will be interesting to hear the outcome!

These are expensive and perhaps the AD can get you a good price for replacements or a refund of the purchase if it is a used example.
I know this is random but i'm looking into buying a brand new Sub what would be the best version to go for. Didn't want to start a whole thread just for my one NOOB question lol. Thank you :)

So... The AD has agreed that there are obviously links missing. They are ordering in a replacement watch and have agreed to:

1. Give me a FOC additional link that I will need to get it to fit correctly (I've got massive wrists :) ) - $705 USD value

2. Provide a FOC extra link for my TT DJ II that I've yet to have fitted - $210 USD value

3. $3000 USD store credit that I have already spent (Explorer II, here I come!!)

Not a bad resolution, I don't think - although the whole thing has been a pain in the balls! Thanks to everyone for your advice/support - I really appreciate it.

But that will relieve some of the pain.

Good outcome.

Were all the stickers on the original watch?

Now that's what I call a happy ending!
Good for you!
