You are missing 2 full links which would give you the 12 full links plus glidelock link that they come with. Cheers,

You are missing one full link on each side of the bracelet.

I figure it's $125 per link on the SS models.

What is it for the 2 tones? $300+?

Chances are the original owner removed the 2 necessary to fit the wrist and sold the extra's to recoup some of his cost.

As others have said two links but if bracelet fits you why bother to buy links you don't really need.Its not going to make any difference to your watch and if you need to sell let the other person buy a link if needed.Now myself had to buy a link on a brand new 16610 watch because the standard size bracelet was much too tight even when fully sized so my bracelet has a extra link so not original.
