Hello guys.
I bought a lovely looking watch today and the shop I bought it from, had to add a link because it wouldn't fit. So they said it was free of charge. Anyway I went back to pick it up and it was still very slightly too small and he said if I wanted another link he would have to charge me 130 quid!
I said no thanks I'll find one myself.
So question is where can I get a ss/gold link please?
Thanks guys.
Ps will post pics as soon as I can get a link fitted.
Pps it's only got 10 links and one half link.

From your AD... They cost about 200 bucks for the Two Tone.. You are very fortunate that they included an additional link for free.

edited: I am assuming that you purchased a used 16613 as a new one should come with all links.

When new, 93253 bracelet for 16613 is constituted of 12 links.

Your AD should deliver it with all these links. In my opinion when he adds a link (or some links) and up to this minimum of 12, it's not a gift ...

93253 as it should be :

I agree with this comment but the dealer isn't going to give me another, unless I pay £130.00 but I'm sure I can get one somewhere cheaper than that?
Thanks.

I'm assuming the watch isn't new.
And the seller isn't an authorized dealer.
Be glad you got 1 for free. You can find links on Ebay, and many other sites.

When you buy a used car from a used car's dealer, don't you find normal to have it with all 4 wheels included ?

It's a 2004 model, and the seller was watches of bond street not sure if they are a AD no.

Sure, but it may not come with a spare tire, or original chrome lugnuts, or a full tank of gas..

After scouring the net, it's proving harder than first thought to acquire one. Plus I'm limiting myself to uk sellers so I don't pay customs tax.

You'll have better time buying it from a Rolex AD. It's cheaper and more secure.

When there's one for sale in the sale section of TRF/VRF/Chronoshop ... , price is generally higher than the same one taken directly from Rolex.
And as these pièces have no mark at all and have been largely copied, you're never sure to get a real one except from Rolex.

I'd bite the bullet & get one from your nearest AD, ... lots less time , effort & possibly heart-ache

PS
In the interim could you use the divers extension to wear the watch with a little more comfort ?

So, 130 is cheap then? The shop said he could get me one maybe I should call them back up and say I actually want it?
