Half-link OP36
Hi all,
Recently purchased a 126000 36mm silver OP on secondary market. Can’t get bracelet to fit; either slightly too big or when removing a link, too tight. Also tried micro adjustments. I’ve searched the forum and found a thread about the older OPs. Anyone have any guidance on purchasing a half-link that could fit the bracelet? Thanks in advance. |

Sometimes once adjusted get loose cause you are running out of any activity, once you start moving you should be ok. OP has lot of adjustment possibilities.

Thanks for this. Unfortunately I’ve exhausted all adjustment permutations. Need to replace a full link with a half-link. Not sure if that’s even possible.

Assuming that extending the EZ-link does nothing for you?
Another option, if half link not available: What would happen if you used an Explorer I 214270 clasp? I think width is right, and it's somewhat longer, but not sure exactly how much. Bonus points that it comes with flip-lock, too. |

It’s really odd. I’ve tried all combinations to no avail, including EZ link. I’m almost thinking of buying a submariner half-link, but not sure if it’ll fit. |

Easy link is a half link. Try sizing with it left open.

Might be worth trying the one off the Sub C that works for the Explorer 214270 with the 20mm lug width. I think the part number is B32-21029-D1.

I believe the half link will offer the same adjustment as the micro adjustment / easy link.
