Watch Size Help!

[sellingblackbird]

Hey guys, new here and need a little help. I purchased a new GMT on Friday. Love the watch, but my problem is with size. It seems that it is either too tight on my wrist but when I move one pin out it is loose and the crown digs into the top of my hand. Anyone have any suggestions on how to handle this? Thanks for your help!

That is why they came up with new clasp. I hear you though. I have similar problem. I need all links in --I move clasp to 2nd from end--it is a tiny bit too big--but when it gets hot--it fits perfect--outside if cold--a tiny bit loose. It is never 100%. With that said--it is better a tiny bit too big than too small. Your only other option is to take 1 link out and move clasp pin back to another position. Other than that--welcome to the world of old school watch clasps.

I recommend heading to your AD or a reputable shop where they can assist you with this process. When I got mine, I spent a few minutes in the service department getting the fit right for my wrist and style of wear.

Seems most people seem to get a comfortable enough fit or get used to what little bit of tightness/play they experience right away.

You may consider experimenting with different combinations of adding/removing links (both sides of the bracelet) and trying the micro-adjustment on the clasp. I would save the expandable link feature for what it was intended (providing a bit of relief and comfort when your wrist expands in higher temperature/humidity environments).

Good luck and hope that you're able to tweak it just right!
