Very nice! I'm also on the hunt for a 118206, so I'm curious: did you get a full bracelet, or was it missing any links (if so, how many)? The couple I've seen that I really liked were missing a link, unfortunately.

I have to say, that dial makes an already rare-ish watch even more rare. Very cool.

Fully-linked for a 6-digit is 24 links. I can’t speak for the OP, but I found one with 25 links. Ironic, since I had 4 of them removed to fit my 6.5-6.75” wrist.

Wow, that's a great find. Always good to have some extras stashed. But wow, that's some luck. It seems like all the listings I like have been scavenged for spare links.

It was just a few months ago, I’m sure the current state of affairs will bring some options to market for you. I read a thread here on TRF about gray dealers taking links out, with the goal of the buyer seeking more links from them when their new purchase doesn’t have enough for them. I imagine (edit: hope) that the more reputable dealers don’t try those shenanigans. In that same thread, it mentioned that list is over $1k per platinum link for a 118206, so I can see how they sense it as an “opportunity.”
