ATTN: Royal Oak 26320OR GOLD Bracelet Owners

Hey Guys,

I'm a current 26320OR owner (on strap) looking go pickup a Royal Oak Gold Bracelet Chrono. Problem i'm having is i can't really judge how the watch will fit/look by trying on new watches at the AP boutique as there are so many extra links. I'm looking for a current Royal Oak Bracelet owner who has a small wrist and has taken links out of his watch to meet me in OC/LA. I will pay for your lunch and will even meet you at a bank/watch boutique or wherever you pick (because i know how shady this sounds lol). All i'm looking to do is to try on a bracelet watch that has been shortened to feel if its a good fit for me or not. Hope i can find someone local.

I can't meet you locally, unless you want to pay my flight from Stockholm ;), but i've taken two links from the bracelet and still find it comfortable.
You'd probably want to try it in the metal though just in case.

Im sure if you are really serious about this your AD would take links out and let you try it.

They need a watchmaker to take out links? How do they size purchases?

Sounds "shady"? Not as much as the "buyer" who wanted me to come with my RG Daytona 116515 and my 3 Pams, which were all on sale, to a restaurant in a shitty neighborhood in Paris, funny how he never called back when I told him the watches were in the bank safe and I only showed them in the bank

Do you even have the watch i'm looking for or are you just posting out of your a**? If it's too shady for you move along (if you even own the watch).

How stupid are you to think i would try to rob someone's watch at a BANK? REAL SHADY lol

Hello

I have a 17cm/6,75" wrist. And I have removed 5 links from the bracelet of my 15400.

It's really confortable. Plus there is a 1-1/2 link available for purchase (at least for steel).


Here's how it looks on me:

Looks amazing. I have mine on rubber on the smallest setting and fits great. Just unsure how the bracelet will fit as I can't pull it tight like I can with the rubber. Here is mine below
