126610LN Bracelet Sizing
I have the opportunity to buy a 126610LN from a friend who recently bought it new from an AD, but has changed his mind on it. The AD sized it for him when he purchased. I have significantly larger wrists than he does, so I'd need to have the two links they took out, added back in.
However, before we complete this deal, I want to make sure that the watch will fit after adding those links back. We don't have the tools on hand to add the links ourselves, and since the local AD is the only one in the state for us, it would be an awkward conversation for him to walk back in there and ask for links to be added, so soon after purchase. I have large wrists, roughly 8.25". Would a 126610LN with all links, and the Glidelock slid all the way out, fit my wrist? |

12 series bracelets shorter than 11 series .About a link .
I have 7.9 inch wrist and have to use the glidelock with all links in the bracelet .12 series. I think with glidelock at max length ,it may just fit your 8.25 wrist . Buy the watch and just get a extra link if needed .Its easy to get the links from an AD .They just order. |

Yes it will fit. I have a 8.25 wrist as well and I wear the LV with no issues.

It would bug me to have to wear the glidelock all the way out as you can use it as it was intended. My guess is you’ll want to add links anyways

I'm trying to avoid a situation where I go to the AD and order an extra link for a Sub, even though I'm on the list with them for a Sub. Would be a weird situation. |

126610LN Bracelet Sizing
Just go into the AD and be sized up.
You don’t need to mention the provenance of the watch or bring the warranty cards or date of sale. Unless they check the serial number with their own records they would just assume you got it grey. If they do recognise the serial your friend may not score brownie points with the dealer but it should not reflect on you in any way. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I have a 7.25" wrist and had to remove zero links. I set the glidelock on the smallest setting it fits perfect and the clasp fits perfect on the wrist.
Not sure how that will help but a POR. |

Three questions. What is your friends wrist size? Do they still have the two links? Where in the clasp in the Glidelock attaching now? With those three questions I think the group can give you a more precise answer.

I have an 8.25” wrist and the same watch. I ordered 2 extra links which allows me to have the clasp exactly in the middle of my wrist with the glide out about one click during the winter. You can wear it fully linked all the way out but you have to move a few links around to center it. I would do that for now and order a couple links.

Links are easy to get. You can find a watch maker with a Rolex parts account. If you have any issues, someone can always order them for you from here. I can ping my dealer if you need help but honestly it should be pretty easy to find links. eBay is also another route to go. I wouldn’t worry too much about the links, it’s an easy fix.

Unfortunately the only answer I have is yes, they do have the two links.

When I picked up the 124060 ,it was the first thing I noticed .Rolex shortened the 12 series bracelets !! On the 126610LV the same as the 124060. |

Have another jeweler put the links in for you to see if it fits. If not, purchase extra links online. This should avoid having to go back to the AD.

It would likely just fit with all links in and glide lock out.
You can buy the bergeon tweezer tool and do it yourself. Probably better with one extra link but ymmv Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
