Think positively, at least it was not the watch that was stolen.

Sorry to hear this, OP. I echo what’s been said: if you plan to keep, I wouldn’t bother with the additional links.

However, if you do plan to sell, missing links will significantly reduce the value.

Personally, I’d keep it as is. It’s already a continuing story, which could have ended a lot worse sooner

I was thinking the same thing. California must be overflowing with surplus with a sales tax like that

Sorry OP, getting your stuff stolen makes one feel tremendously violated. Gorgeous watch though, I'm glad that wasn't taken.

If I got fat at the velocity of suddenly needing adding multiple links vs just 1, I'd think I have other things to worry about.

Agreed...
If you were going to add just one link then finding one on the secondary market might be more affordable.

As always, no info how the links got stolen. How nonchalant people can be.

How new is this new watch as the platinum day date has had a fluted bezel since 2022? Did you get this from the AD? If grey, why not try them for links?

I’d recommend going back to the AD from where you purchased, tell them your predicament and ask if they will sell them to you at cost.

Sorry to hear about the theft. That’s really aggravating. I wonder if the thief even knew what they stole.

That doesn't make sense. lol. If it was before sizing, there would be no spare links to steal as they would all be on the watch.

Why bother? If u keep it then it doesn’t matter. And your wrist isn’t going to grow, If you sell it, the grey or who buys it will dock you for the missing links but no worse than buying new ones. At least the watch didn’t get stollen instead.

Have you spoken to anyone to see if your bag has been handed in? Maybe the links have been missed by the thief?

Sorry to hear that.

Don't let them win!

Take revenge on the thief by loving the absolute xxxx out of your beautiful watch.
