Royal Oak extra link

Hey all,

I have an incoming 26315, (my grail watch) and was curious if the boutique will supply an extra link, and how much that would cost me. I already have an extra 1.5 link, which makes the watch fit perfectly now, but it may be snug in the summer months.

Thanks

Yes, I think cost is around $140 USD-ish from last time I needed an extra link last year.

Dont forget to consider rubber strap for summer months to change up the looks!

Excellent point. Thinking a navy or even white rubber would pop on this one (silver dial with blue subdials). Is RubberB the preferred aftermarket supplier of choice?

I personally didn’t like the Velcro rubber B or their non Velcro version.

I just got the Ones from AP directly, albeit much more expensive. Although don’t know if they fit 38mm.

A friend of mine bought a Beast in London AP House last week, he needed either a 0.5 or a 1.5 link adding for a perfect fit and it was free of charge.

I needed a 1.5 link for my RO last year and AP said there was no charge.

Call AP service center in Clearwater, Fl. I ordered this exact 1.5 link recently for a 26315ST. It was like $260 including shipping. Part # is MR.404.163.ST.

Got extra 1 link for myself .
It wears a little loose, but I’m in a tropical weather country , so it’s okay to wear like a summer .

Over the weekend I visited my SA, been inform that there’s a leather for my watch. So I order it’s, with all the add adds on such as deployment and lugs screw ... it’s costly around 1300-1350 usd

But I think it’s pop when fit into my 26315st silver dial .

The boutique gave me the 1.5 link for free when I got my 15500ST a couple of years ago.

Thanks all for the input; sounds split in terms of whether or not they’ll throw it in or not. I’ll try to butter up my SA and hope for the best. This is my first AP so not a VIP by any means.

Just to close the loop on this, I did end up getting the extra link free of charge. Thanks all!

I don't think the bracelet links on 26315st (38mm) and 15400st (41mm) are the same width, so they aren't interchangeable.
