Will Rolex Supply A Free Link To The AD If A Band Is To Small??

I got two free links with my BLNR 5 years ago but I am paying for two links for my SD43. Rolex now charge the AD so they will now charge me.

But would you really? It depends on the model. On a DateJust or an AirKing I'm with you, but on a Sub, Sd43, Daytona? Would you really? Doubt it.

As I said before, how would you feel if you didn’t get to keep your spare links that you have removed. You don’t need them, so why should you get them? Same logic as if you need extra ones why should you pay for them? (Genuine question).

Would you expect an AD to give you free gold or platinum links on a watch you buy with a 30% discount?

Nobody is getting a 30% discount on a gold or platinum watch. Those days are in the past. I got 25% on a gold Sub in '17, and not going to happen now.

I think if you want extra links you should pay for them. Rolex will charge the ADs for them in any event, so if the AD wants to eat the cost they are free to do so. I would not expect any AD to absorb the cost, unless this was an accommodation purchase to help the AD clear stock.

There is no such thing as a free lunch, I mean link.
