Thank you my friend. You are a life saver. This was the only way I could remove my half link on my date day 39mm watch. It now fits perfectly. Before, it was coming up a little loose or a little tight. Thanks again

I have small wrists so my BB clasp was a bit off-centered. Even to the last link I was a bit bummed out but then tried this method. You sir just made me love my BB even more, thanks for this :)

i had this idea but was afraid to try it - thanks for sharing this. this hack is useful because i ended up having to leave that link in place and its is short on one side. still looks good but could be more centered

I can’t say enough thank you. I’ve had mine for two days trying to figure out how to remove one of those links without destroying the band. I think it was a design flaw not to remove one extra link from that side. But again I can’t say enough thank you!

Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! Just followed these steps to the letter and have adjusted my GMT bracelet without any issues. Easy, took just 5-10 minutes max and that was taking extra care. My local AD wouldn't make any attempt to remove the fliplock so I did it myself. For info, I used the following tools: Bergeon 1.4mm screwdriver for link removal No.2/0 size darning needle for fliplock removal (got a pack of 6 No.5/0-1/0 from Hobby Craft for a couple of quid) Bergeon 6767-F spring bar removal tool for micro-adjust (if required, you could probably use the needle if you don't need to be posh!) Regular watch bracelet holder block A couple of layers of tape to ensure no scratches! Thanks for this great video - I can now enjoy this beautiful piece with a perfect fit on my wrist!

My AD wasn't aware of this too and was pleasantly surprised when I suggested removing the clasp-link to fine adjust my North Flag (mostly to keep the clasp more centred).

You literally saved my life!!! I just bought this watch and the dealer took all the links out. The band was still too big. It made the watch uncomfortable and awkward as the watch rotated around my wrist. I was hating this purchase and was going to drill out a rivet. I will send you some money for this tip. My watch now fits perfectly!!! I now love my BB again!!! The Tudor AD had no idea you could do this!!! P.S. Tried to send you some money on Patreon. It is asking me to create content when I click on your link. Can I paypal you?

Is it possible to completely remove the clasp? My only dislike of this watch is the rivets on the bracelet. So I was wondering if you could remove the clasp and put it on a similar style bracelet, like a strapcode...
@WatchHobbyist
@WatchHobbyist 3 жыл бұрын
With some experimentation maybe I guess. However the finishing may be different and make the swap stand out, plus you’d need a tight fit between the bracelet and clasp for it to not rattle

I wish the bracelet had a couple more micro adjustments. I want to be able to wear mine on the tightest micro adjustment hole or at least the middle one so that I can make it a bit looser on the fly. The way I have it now is very comfortable but I have it on the loosest hole so I’ve got no option for making it slightly looser if needed. When I add a link back in, it fits too loose for me even in the tightest micro adjustment hole. Maybe I just need to go on a diet 😂

Why not remove one link from each side? That will keep the clasp centered on your wrist.

Yep! One would've thought that removing a link from each side would've been the most logical way to centre the clasp??? It's just common sense isn't it? This "hack" seems a little unnecessary...

No. There’s only two removable links on one side of the Tudor bracelet.

Artagain hmmm unless they’ve stupidly changed it on the GMT, my Black Bay Black has adjustability links on both sides. Wouldn’t think Tudor would change something that’s been standard across all watch bracelet design.

There's absolutely no way to centre the clasp unless this hack is implemented. It won't come around far enough to the middle without the removal of the flip lock.
