I can use some tips on bracelet adjustment!

[Cristell]

Hey guys, I can use some tips on making a fine adjustment to my bracelet. I recently purchased a new DJ which has the newer style jubilee bracelet like the president. My problem is I am in-between sizes when removing links. The way it stands now with one link removed it's too loose, if I remove another it's too tight! Each link is about 1/4 of an inch ..... that's significant. Unfortunately, this style bracelet has no fine adjustment in the clasp. Has anyone else encountered this problem and if so was there any resolution?

On a side note, my right wrist is slightly larger than my left and the fits perfect on the right. I am left handed and know some lefties wear their watches on the right (to keep them out of harm's way)..... I never did but may consider this as an option.

Thanks!

Same thing happens to me when sizing the jubilee. You're better off leaving it with the extra link on, leaving it a bit looser. Too tight will hurt you during the day when your wrist swells up. I'd rather have it a bit looser than tight. Plus, it has the newer style jubilee with solid mid-links, so there's really no chance of band stretch.

I agree! Better to have it a little loose than tight if you are between links. There is no fine adjustment any more on that style bracelet/clasp.

Thanks, I'll check it out

The Jubilee has an extra link available that is about 1 1/2 links long.. You take out a link and replace it with this and you have a half link adjustment... Talk to your dealer..

I didn't know that! What's the model number of it? Maybe I can get one from Steve Mulholland..

It's a rule of thumb, so to speak. There isn't really a right or wrong way, or a proper tightness when it comes to wearing a watch. It simply comes down to personal preference - your "proper" might be too loose or too tight for me.
