AHHH - AD ruined a link!

[Numismatist]

Well, it had to happen. Watch barely a month old...

Took it to an AD (I asked specifically if a watchmaker was in, they said no but the salespeople are trained to adjust bracelets) so against my better jugdement, I took it in to have a link removed.

I had my doubts, so I inspected the watch before and after to make sure there were no 'additional features' to the watch after adjustment. It was perfect as before, so I left happy.

That was 2 weeks ago...

Today, I went into the green Rolex box to look at the 'stuff' that comes with a Rolex, and looked at the little bag with the extra links in it...

WOW The screw was damaged and the area of the link around the screw hole was gouged. Clearly the AD salesperson cum bracelet adjuster twisted the screwdriver and gouged the link. I didn't bother checking the links in the bag when I left the AD that day. Now I have a damaged link and am left trying to convince the AD that they did it two weeks ago.

Should I leave it alone? I don't really need the link anyway - except at a future resale. Not that I should have to, but how could I prove I didn't do it over the last two weeks?

Ick.
