Italy was the first market in the link world for many watch brands, and the Italian market helped many brands link become what they are today, Corvo said. "It's a very mature market. People started to collect watches here in the 1940s and '50s. And it link wasn't just for telling the time, it was fashion. They were predecessors of today's watch collector."

Before this update the link 867 was only available in a 35mm steel case The brand seems to have retired the earlier small versions. This update brings the 867 collection back to its previous smaller link sizing which feels exactly like what this watch should be. It never made sense as a 35mm wannabe steel watch on a bracelet which is how RL had positioned it the past few years. We already have enough link of those.
