You are a life saver. I tried to explain this issue to the watch guy at the shop and he stared weirdly at me, probably thought I was too finicky. Thanks a ton for this video 👍

@IdExCS Жыл бұрын

I know what you mean, that's why I bought some cheap tools and learned to do this adjustment myself.

@willelliott5052 Жыл бұрын

I know. They just don't get it. They don't question what they have been told, when all it takes is a little observation and critical thinking.

@bryanryan4504 Жыл бұрын

@willelliott5052 critical thinking only comes when one is actually interested in the subject at hand or have a passion for the work presented. Unfortunately, lot of these watch repair people (and other "tradesmen") are just in it for the business aspect of it, looking to just make money. They don't see all the nuances of a particular hobby or discipline.

Brilliant tips! I have a 6.5" wrist and was unable to remove any more links on the 6-o-clock side of my 14060M bracelet. Just flipped it and it now sits perfectly on my wrist. Using the clasp the other way round will take some getting used to, but the main thing is it now fits perfectly. Much better than having a permanent link removed. Thanks!

Just wanted to say thanks for the tips. I tried the first method of removing a link from the shorter side and adding it the longer side and it worked. I think I’m also going to order another clasp with more micro adjust for extra wrist room in colder months.

Great video. I heard you want to try to thane the clasp centered when you wearing it, most of the time to do this one side is longer than the other. If there even the clasp will usually be way off to one side. You also have to take in account where your micro adjust is, this also effects how the bracelet will wear.

@carllange3950 4 жыл бұрын

Before I started adjusting my own bracelets, I was always needing to have the jewelry store employees move links from the bottom to the top. They were always starting out with trying to keep the link counts equal, which meant the bracelets never felt correct. Looking at my 30+ watches with bracelets, the top portions of the bracelets have 2 to 4 more links than the bottom. Even with my two watches with butterfly clasps, the tops have 1/2 and 1 more link.

@treehugger3615 3 жыл бұрын

I've learnt my lesson and now I look for bracelets clasps with at least 5 adjustable positions since it will give me a tighter fit. For a 6" wrister like me, an oyster bracelet with 4 removable links and 4 microadjustable positions falls slightly short.

@Gamer4051 4 жыл бұрын

I have really small wrists (6.25"). My Orient had the problem where I could not remove anymore links from the bottom so the top could be longer so what I ended up doing is actually swapping the top of the bracelet with the bottom from the spring bar point (where it attaches to the case itself). That allowed the bottom to have 1 less link than the top because of how Orient sized it originally but problem with doing this is that the clasp is now upside down. What you can do to flip it back right-side up is removing the clasp itself from the links at the spring bar points and reattaching it the other way. Not sure if any of these explanations made sense but I now have a perfectly sized watch where the clasp is sitting flat and is also right-side up. Hope this helps!

@truhlikfredy Жыл бұрын

One link more + moving micro-adjustment (half link change) and the watch was loose completely moving on my wrist, one link less and adjusting the micro-adjustemnt and suddenly the watch was making imprints and felt too tight. Was going between them back and forth trying to decide which one could be tolerated more, but not happy with either. Reversing them made soooo much better fit which at last feels right. Was watching so many videos, which were repeating all the useless information, you are the first one bringing something new. Like others in the comments here, thank you very mcuh

I do step number one. Always works for me. I also get rid of clasps with diver's extensions, like those on the Seiko Samurai or Turtle bracelets because they never fit quite right because they add a portion to the top of the clasp that causes it to jut out from the wrist. I just spend about $15 on a simple milled clasp from eBay with three micro adjustments and it fixes things very quickly.

@melody3741 Жыл бұрын

You’re allowed to change the location of the clasp. If the end sticks off of your wrist, just move links from the side where you have more room over to the side where it sticks out. I have a really weird and smal wrist but even then I’m able to get it to work on every bracelet i own

Most grateful for the tips. I have an omega seamaster aqua terra and a small wrist. Removed to standard links and bracelet was still too loose. Then removed a half link from 6 o’clock and bracelet became a tad too tight. I returned the half link and simply bent the thick metal clasp under hot water and voila!

I have a problem with my metal replacement strap on my Garmin Tactix watch. I've taken out the three removable links on either side but because my wrist is so thin, the strap is still too loose. I want to remove two more links but all the other links are non removable. What can I do? It seems to me that there must be a way to get the links to come off, it was put together after all. Can I pull the ends off with pliers? Any advice will be greatly appreciated! I've subscribed to your channel.
