Sky Dweller Oyster > Jubilee - Exchange is the only option?

[bigdaws]

I ordered a Jubilee bracelet for my stainless steel Sky Dweller from Bucherer, who charged me $1700. All good, told me it would be 5-8 weeks. But then a week later they've come back to tell me that actually no, they can't do that; the only option is to send the whole watch back to Rolex and have the bracelet exchanged, and I won't get the Oyster back. They can't just order the part and put it on for me.

What in the world is going on here? Has anyone had any luck getting a spare bracelet? I'd rather not have to send the whole watch back for god knows how long, and buy the bracelet at full freight with a $0 trade in value for my existing bracelet. And I kind of liked the idea of being able to flip between the Oyster and the Jubilee.

If you've been able to get around this somehow let me know... bonus points for a referral to an AD that can take the order!
