Does anyone know how many removable links there should be on a new 5711?
I just went in to an AD to have the bracelet adjusted on my 5711. I asked them to add one link back to the bracelet. And so I handed over my 5711 and a chain of what I thought was 7 spare links. I got my 5711 back with one link added to the bracelet, and a chain of 5 spare links.
Now, I can't remember if I started with a chain of 7 or 6 spare links. Maybe it wasn't seven to start with?
In total, I now have 5 spare links and 2 removable links on the bracelet, for a total of 7 removable links.
Does the Nautilus come from the factory with 8 or 7 removable links on the bracelet? I am guessing it is probably 7, but just want to be sure. Thanks for any guidance.
