I don't know if I would call this a scam, but I consider it to be a very deceptive selling practice. Even their "disclaimer" is a bit misleading. Saying "All watches are shipped to fit the average size wrist (7 1/4" - 7 1/2" for men and 6 1/4" - 6 1/2" for women)" could easily suggest to a buyer that they remove the links but they do not withhold them (i.e., they resize the watch for an average size wrist and include the extra links...which is exactly what my dealer did.)
There are reputable secondary dealers that, in verbatim terms, state the exact number of links included with the watch.
