need to add a link .........

just picked up a beautiful Bluesy Sub from a great member here (OliverTwist)
all is well except I would like to add another link. Once warmer weather comes I suspect it will be a bit tight, I've got it adjusted out as far as it will go now.

Question is, can this be done through an AD or do I need to send it off to Rolex or third option can I procure the link and do it myself ? Band is SS/YG

You can most likely purchase a link from eBay / TRF classified. Just make sure it’s authentic!

Go to an AD with the watch in hand. They will sell you the proper links most likely for a better price than risking it on eBay it here.

I tried eBay (mostly after-market), TRF (none abvailable at the time), and AD (not too helpful, since I didn’t have the watch. The link was for my father in law)

Ended up buying from a reputable watch repair shop with Rolex parts acct.
It was $150 plus tax and shipping for a new tt oyster link.

Official Rolex MSRP for one additional link for 97203 is 210$ (+tax)

You paid "only" 150$ ... are you sure it's a real Rolex link ?

lol yeah, he has 1986 tt sub (clasp 93153.18)

same as the price AD quoted, but they wanted me to bring in the watch, which was inconvenient since he lives in Vegas
