I was hoping someone here locally may have experience with a local Rolex dealer that may have a few links laying around and would pop them on for a more reasonable price of like $25-$50 each or something.

LOl, my wife said the same thing about a NATO strap. I went into a local shop that sells pre-owned Rolex and they tried to sell me an aftermarket band.. They wanted $450 for it and I said your nuts.. I went to an AD down the street and they looked at me funny and wrote down Dallas RSC's phone number and told me to call them. I guess that is what happens when the watch is 41 years +. I called RSC Dallas and they don't want to tell you much. I had to drag info out of them. They finally told me that an equiv. band for my watch listed for 940 but would not even tell me if they had it in stock. Strange. I said I would like to know before I drive down and she said normally they do not sell right out but do trade in on service but they would not service my watch because of the age. Gotta love it. She did say it might help if I go down to the center. I told her I wanted to keep my band because it was part of the orig watch. There is another guy here that got the same band from NY RSC for 840 and got to keep his old band. Not looking forward to the downtown drive, but I figure i should find out my options. It is just nuts that I see the same band used going for more than a new one at the RSC.
