Buying Rolex bracelet parts RSC NYC?

I'm going to NYC in a few weeks and was wondering if anyone had any luck buying Rolex bracelet parts at a RSC? I usually wear my Ex.2 on a strap and was thinking of picking up Rolex pin buckle. Anyone from experience know if RSC NYC will sell bracelet parts to individuals like a Rolex pin buckle or are they going to stand by their dictator stance as usual? Thanks.

I bought a complete set along with a croc strap from RSC NYC last summer- there thing is probably going to be that they want to see the missing pin from what you have so if you can bring it all in -watch included, and show them. They would probably replace it. But the strap would have to be Rolex, and has to go on to the watch for them to give it to you, there not going to hand you over a naked watch head. You could always call?

P.S. I was able to get a couple of extra spring bars no charge when I was there doing all of this!

I usually wear a leather strap on my Ex.2 and most of those straps are aftermarket (ie. Di-Modell, Hirsch, etc.). There is a 16mm Rolex tang buckle that I've had my eyes on. I know that other brands such as Omega sell the tang buckle along with the Omega logo. I'll probably give RSC a call this week to see what's up.

Can't speak for a buckle, but I had an extra link added to my datejust several years ago. I had the watch with me and only requested the link. No problem at all.

I wouldn't be all that optimistic about being able to purchase the end buckle.

The EXP II never came on a strap and Rolex isn't known for allowing customization of its bracelets and straps.

I've seen them come up on various sales forums in the past, so perhaps your time would be better spent searching there.
