Where to size?

[jb335]

Let's just say I theoretically had a new incoming and needed to size a RO bracelet to my wrist. Can I take it to any reputable jeweler? Would you trust them to size an AP RO bracelet? I am going to need at least one if not two links removed.

I'm in LA/OC area but I cannot go to the LA boutique. I spent too much time there trying on watches and not buying any. lol

Thanks for any advice.

have you received the watch already? the dealer you bought from can easily take out 2 for you while keeping stickers and wrapping intact.

I'd take it to the boutique and offer to pay. Should be no more than $40 altho I was offered a $75 change recently.

Thanks AK. On my way to an AD I haven’t previously visited now. Theoretically.

There should never be a cost to resize or ch age out bracelet / straps.

Cost of doing business for them in hopes of future business.

Boutique in NYC has been pro bono!

The AD charged me $30. I obviously did not buy the watch from them.

Of more concern, removing 3 links left it to too loose, 4 links left it too tight.

I think I need to buy one of those 1 1/2 links. Bummer

In the interim, I opted for leaving it on the tighter side.

Clearwater will get u a link easily.

[jb335]

Clearwater will ship it to me? That’s better than buying it from the boutique?

And based on my situation with links, do you think the 1 1/2 link will be the right solution?

Give them a call. You should have to pay for resizing.

I had the same issue with my 15400 and the 1 1/2 link was perfect.

[jb335]

Cool, thanks VICI.

I called Clearwater today and they are shipping me a 1 1/2 link.

They are charging me $216 plus shipping and sales tax. Oddly, they could not provide me with a grand total and said they would email it to me later.

I really hope this solves my fit issue with being in between 3 and 4 links removed.

If not.. I hear they have a good return policy ;) ;)

It did the trick for my wrist. Best of luck!
