Where to size?
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.

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. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

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? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

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. |

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! |
