It's been a long time but my wife said it was OK for me to get one so I did. I've purchased from Puretime years ago and but it's different now. Professional, borderline impersonal/mechanical. I had another dealer that I was going to purchase from who would sell this for $410 with box and papers but the payment process was annoying so why not give Puretime a try again. I told them about the other offer, but they wouldn't budge on the price except to offer free shipping.

After paying I sent an email asking if there was anyway possible to get a couple extra links? The response was it has an extension and should fit. Personally, I like to remove the extension and replace it with a link before the clasp and on after. The reason I asked now was that I hoped it would be the same 904L as the bracelet instead of purchasing something elsewhere. Never did get an answer about adding them to the order somehow. I'll see how the rest of this goes but so far I'm not impressed with Puretime. From what I can gather by looking at a few other posts, it looks like this is going to take a month to get to Ohio.

Thank you for your order and sorry if you are not satisfied with our service. The watch is with regular size of the bracelet. Factory doesn't supply the links for free and from our experiences, it usually takes a long time (sometimes for months) for factory to supply just the links or there is also risk they may not supply at the end.
if you are willing to wait also take the risk, please feel free to email us.

I received a great email so thank you for that. I'll probably order a bracelet and us it for spare parts but can't swing it this week....

I have a 9" wrist and own a 116660 (soon to be sold) and an ARF126660, modded by BK. I ordered 2 extra link for the 116660 and 1 (one!) extra link for the 126660 which is enough for my giant wrist, thanks to the diver extension. I wear this watch more than any other watch I own, and I'm actually more of a Panerai fan than a Rolex fan. I paid $49.00 per link from a seller on eBay and it is a 100% match and fit in any possible way.
