I see some other posts that say this watch came with 11 total links, so may (hopefully) will be all good.

FYI, it appears there are only 11 links in the pictures. I believe this ref number watch originally comes with 13 links and no statement in this ad said it was not with a full set of links. So I bought it. Anytime I see an ad for a pre-owned watch without all the links, it is disclosed. We'll have to have Bennisson determine the size and if any links are missing. If they are and it won't fit a min 7.5" wrist then I cannot wear it or buy it. We'll see what they say when they get it. thanks

Ok. I’ll just need the bracelet to make sure and fit at least 7.5” wrist. No problem on the other info. Thank you.

We do not know who did the PVD work, we bought the watch with the PVD already applied. We have not serviced the watch but the watch is running well and does not currently need a service. The package has already been packed and picked up by FedEx so we are not able to check the exact size of the bracelet.

Thanks for the answers. Good to go. For the future for my reference if I need to do any touch up can you please tell me who did the PVD work? Also, have you done a service on it and when (or know when the last one was done) and is it waterproofed properly after the pvd work/still? Thank you.
