They don't care if there are people dying to buy their bargain stainless watches. That's not their problem. They could take the attitude that if the consumer wants Rolex watches let them pay for PM. The brand might have enough clout to pull that off.

DD40 - What��s the max wrist size on a stock bracelet without adding links?
Quick question that a many of you may know off the top of your head:What is the max wrist size that a stock DD40 bracelet can handle (comfortably) without having to buy extra links?I'm a 7.5 wrist normally.

I'm thinking I would be fine with a stock size bracelet but wanted some feedback.I had never considered needing to add links to the president bracelet (thinking they came bigger) as I usually take one link out of a glidelock and on a Daytona I'm fully linked with the clasp micro adjustments on the inner/tightest slot.Thanks
