A customer-oriented TD should offer additional links for - say - 10 dollars a piece.
After all, the dimensions of the wrist may change. You don't necessarily have to do any weight training for that.
I agree with you, however some factories will not sell single links or any parts at all, so the TD cannot fulfill the customers order. I don't know what XF policy is on parts sales. At the other end, some TDs will not accept an order for links or parts unless an additional purchase is made to make it worth their time processing an order. There are also some TDs that will source and sell parts without any stipulations. We just have to shop around for the best deal.
In this case, the cost of an entire bracelet is approximately $150.00 (based on the price of a JF 15400 stainless bracelet), which is a bit high if the buyer only requires 1-3 links with screws. Result: XF looses a sale or buyer buys another bracelet with a cost overrun.
Hopefully Z+F is more generous with the links on the bracelet on their upcoming 15202.
