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 ? |

same as the price AD quoted, but they wanted me to bring in the watch, which was inconvenient since he lives in Vegas then urs should be $150 also for one link
