RSC New York / Resizing and link removal?

I purchased my Yacht-Master pre-loved think it would fit my wrist best if a perm link was removed from the 6 oclock side. In the mean time, I've tried the trick to reverse the bracelet and it fits much better and is fine for the time being, however I was considering having it fixed for good when I eventually have it serviced by RSC.

Is this something they would do for me / help me with? I live near by NYC, so when I bring it in for service, I will probably drop it off myself.

Thoughts/experiences? Thanks.

If you're capable of removing a bracelet you're easily capable of removing a link yourself I reckon.

07-1mm Jewellers screwdriver. Easy peasy. Takes about 2 minutes.

RSC NY added a link for me at my request once. It'll be no problem at all for them.

I should have made it more clear, I was referring to a perm link. I've done regular links - thanks

Ah, I see. Apologies.
Yes, then, they should be able to do this no problem, as would any decent watchmaker to be fair, if you wanted to save a few pennies.

When I first bought mine they sized/added a link at RSC in NY. I happened to work a few blocks from there and brought it over on my lunch hour. It didn't take long at all.
