Suggestions?
Adding or taking out links entails unfolding the center link slightly and slipping in or out what is needed.

To add one, the difficulty will be finding an older link that is proper.

There are some UK vintage guys who hang out on the Forum and perhaps one will chime in with some assistance. I don't know if the UK RSC has these links still available.

The problem I always have with these folded links is that it is difficult to unfold and remove one without forming a crease in the front. So before re-installing, I try to remove/reduce the crease by re-forming the link around a small rounded template. It's definitely not a 100% success for me.

I met a Pilot that was serving in the Navy Seals and he had a Tudor Sub assigned by the US Navy.

I’d advise him to go to RSC London.
