My sub was getting tight on me and figured I add a link. I call Razny Jewelers which is near my work and ask if they a spring bar tool for sale. AD kindly states that they do not sell them.

I then asked if they can add a link to my Rolex. AD states did you buy it from Razny? I kindly stated no I did not....then she states then it would be $15 to add a link sir....

I kindly stated thank you very much...

$15 to add a link....does the tool that is used even cost that much?

Anyone else run into AD's charging for adjustments.

Dhiney · 26 February 2009, 03:27 AM

$15 for their time and experience is cheap, it's worth something, especially for a non-customer.

Someone on this site was quoted $75 to adjust the bracelet, that's unfair but I'd pay the $15.

ayeya · 26 February 2009, 03:31 AM

$15 is a fair price. some AD charge $25 for rolex and $15 for any other brand

Ogie · 26 February 2009, 03:31 AM

I agree...I just recall walking into other AD's and not paying a dime for adjusting my bracelet. It's really not about the 15 bucks...

TheVTCGuy · 26 February 2009, 03:33 AM

Agreed, 15 bucks is more then reasonable.

kcmo · 26 February 2009, 03:41 AM

$15? That's CHEAP!

bodybump · 26 February 2009, 03:44 AM

$15 is very cheap...before i have my link remove for $20.....so i guees to remove is $20 to add is $15..hahahhahaahah

goduke1 · 26 February 2009, 03:49 AM

So was that 15.00 for the extra link and the install? If so..that is DIRT CHEAP...

I have an aftermarket bracelet and an extra link cost me $10.50 extra (not installed)

I would say for a genuine Rolex part 15.00 is almost giving it away.

If you already have the link...then I dunno, 15.00 sounds OK for the install. You might be able to get a watchmaker to do it cheaper. There is not much involved depending on the bracelet.

ocwatching · 26 February 2009, 03:52 AM

I had a thread here a month ago or so on Ben Bridge. They wanted $40 to add a link. $15 is very reasonable for their time and effort. I was ready to pay that...not $40!!

good luck!

I had my link with me....

rolexgiants · 26 February 2009, 03:54 AM

why should a place of business do it for free.... people today dont want to pay for anything... i dont get it....

B Square · 26 February 2009, 03:55 AM

$15 is great price. Cost me $35

wantonebad · 26 February 2009, 03:56 AM

$15 is fair, not great but fair. A jewler in the local mall adjusted my seamaster for free, however she said "I won't charge you, but the next time you buy a watch you have to come see me". Smart woman, and I will go back to let her price out a new purchase

rijowysock · 26 February 2009, 04:29 AM

i had a breitling AD put a link in, long time ago.. they asked for 50$.. i told them.. takeit back out then.. they just said nvm the charge and gave me the watch...

Rolex Lover · 26 February 2009, 04:30 AM

This is reasonable price!!! If you did this in Cairo, Egypt, you could have paid arround $40. Do you feel comfortable now after adding the link? This is the most important issue my friend :))))

Ogie · 26 February 2009, 04:35 AM

I agree.. Yes, it's more comfortable now that a link has been added.

touchdowntodd · 26 February 2009, 04:45 AM

$15 isnt bad.. i mean sure they COULDVE done it free just in the hopes of future business..

but, maybe they were busy, maybe they sell plenty already, idk..

my AD will do all taht shit free, but then again that is specifically why we bought 2 watches there so that the future stuff is easy

miked · 26 February 2009, 05:28 AM

15 is fine. You should just get a screwdriver and do it yourself though. Easy and it takes 2 seconds.

Come to think of it, you could make a nice living off of adjusting bracelets. 5 an hour at $15 bucks. 8 hours a day.

The GMT Master · 26 February 2009, 05:30 AM

I believe the charge is just in case they cock up the procedure and damage the watch. $15 isn't horrendous as it goes, I've heard of worse.

charliec · 26 February 2009, 05:49 AM

I was quoted £10 to adjust a link but when i went to collect the adjusted watch they apologised for the charge, cancelled the fee and all because they didn't realise it was a Rolex I wanted adjusting until it was with the technician!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you believe that s..t??

Brunotheboxer · 26 February 2009, 05:50 AM

$15 is the new $75.

I guess times have changed... or maybe its just the paticular AD. Most AD's in my area do not charge for that even though you didnt by from them..

VTSKL · 26 February 2009, 06:47 AM

I can btw. recommend this one.
It fits the screws 110% , not leaving any marks....It cost a bit, but genuine Rolex.

After I got my watch I went to an AD (not where it was purchased) to adjust the bracelet by removing a link. After performing the work the tech was writing it up and was going to charge me 25 bucks which I thought was reasonable and had no problem with. The manager saw what was going on, came over and waved off the payment. He then said to me "Sir we appreciate your stopping in and while the watch we worked on was not purchased here hopefully you will consider us for any future purchases."

Because of a gesture like that I certainly will and would call that 25 bucks well "spent" on their part.

SubKing · 26 February 2009, 07:31 AM

omg it should be free!!!!! do you know how easy it is. buy a mini screwdriver for 10 bucks bergeon screwdriver that is and do it your self!! any rolex dealer should never charge for this... it is very simple and keeps a good taste in a customers mouth to come in more often,

Perdu · 26 February 2009, 07:49 AM

Dude, if you can afford a Rolex you can afford $15 bucks.

LDLemu4U · 26 February 2009, 07:52 AM

15$....That's cheap.....grab it while you can.

jm433 · 26 February 2009, 08:11 AM

$15 sounds cheap to me.

Rob_b · 26 February 2009, 08:26 AM

I just use the screw driver out of my SD Tool Kit. Added a link to Daytona that way to
