Links in GMT2c

Hi,

What is the total no. of link in a typical brand new GMT2c? I have recently bought a pre-owned and was given an extra link ONLY.

Pics below show the links on my watch:



Is the total no. of link in order? Was I shortchanged? Some experts pl help. Thanks.

It will stop you selling it as I for one would find the strap far too small to wear, I only take one link out.

Forgot to say I can only see 9 on your strap

On these pictures, 3 links are missing.

Total is 13 when brand new. You have only 10 (taking into account the "easylink").

On the Easylink side and including it there's 8 (you have 6) , on the other side there's 5 (you have 4)

Not sure what the RRP price is from Rolex, but I seem to remember seeing them advertised here on TRF for around $60-80 each!
