2019 Datejust (Oyster bracelet)

So i was cleaning out my watch boxes and realised that my datejust only has 1 spare link in the box. Looking at my other watches (non rolex), I tend to have 2 or 3.

Now i know that all watches are different but looking at my datejust bracelet there is 3 links removable on twelve side and 1 on the six side. Totalling 4 removable on bracelet and 1 spare in box - total of 5 links (This is full size removable links only)

Is this correct? Seems off to have odd amount I think. If so, my dealer has resized and pocketed a few links which is not good! I have pretty skinny wrists and surprised I only needed 1 removed.

Anyone have a 2019 datejust on oyster to compare?

Out of the box should be 7 and 6 links including the end links at the case.

How many do you have in total?

Did you buy from an AD?

Any reason you didn’t check or ask about spare links at the time of purchase?

There is 5 removable links that are full size in total.

Purchased from TD who went into the back of the store to resize for me and spare link was just out in box. I Didnt give it much thought at the time and didnt ask how many was removed etc just happy it fit.

There is 3 links on the six side and 4 links on the twelve side that are non removable. So in total 12 links in full not including half links near clasp and not including SEL

It’s 13 in total counting the end links at the case and the full size bracelet links.

If you count 12 total including the spare in the box then yeah I think one has gone astray.

So:
3 links on 6 side (correct)
4 links on 12 side (correct)
-13
= -6

So you’re saying on the new datejust there should be 6 removeable links.... great. Looks like dealer only put one in the box. I probably didnt help being fussy at the time and him going back and forward to the backroom making adjustments.
