You mentioned "I have a tool that makes quick work of R&Ring these links" could you share a pic with the forum? I'm sure there are others here that would like to make "quick work" of adding and replacing the links on these Vintage Rolex USA C⚜I* Rivet Oyster Bracelet's as well as the Swiss made counterparts.
*The mark between the C and I is named a Fleur de Lis (flower of the lily) which is of French origin and in auction's it is replaced with a plus (+) sign,erroneously.
