93150 Bracelet Adjustment

[bf76]

Hi gents.

I bought a 14060M and was expecting a comfortable bracelet, as I've read so many times before.
I have a very slim wrist (under 7 inches). I've removed all links possible and the bracelet is not centered. The clasp is closer to the 12 o'clock than the 6 o'clock
If I could remove another link from the 6 o'clock side, that would make the clasp centered, but it can't, because it's a permanent link (I've read that removing a permanent link is a "medieval thing" to do, so that's a no-no).

What can I do, gents? Thanks for your help.

I don't see a way to reduce more from both sides... maybe inverting the direction of the bracelet

Has anyone removed a permanent link on the 6 o'clock side? Is it hard? Is it a current operation that many TRF members have done?

it can be done but is not simple for the owner: best to have a qualified shop remove the link. My wrist is 6 1/2 inch and I've removed a link on numerous 93150's and they fit much better.

always add a half link , that would let you take out a fixed one ,,, they are easy enough to take out , but you wont be putting them back afterwards ,,,

A permanent link can easily be removed with two sets of (locking is preferable) pliers or a vise and pliers. Some of the companies that rebuild these bracelets to remove “stretch” are able to fit the links back together again after prying apart, presumably using larger diameter pins or epoxy or something like that, so it can be done but practically speaking, it’s probably better to just consider the link destroyed after removal.

I have a similarly small wrist and I've never had issues with any of my Rolexes. My Speedies have very little adjustment in the clasp and wouldn't fit right until I put a half-link in them.

Thanks gents,
The bracelet is traveling to a fellow TRF member that answered my quest.
I can't wait to put it back on.

After adding and removing various half and full links to both sides of my 93150, I found that reversing the entire bracelet worked for me. A bit weird that it worked, but I have a small, "square" wrist. Whatever it takes is the right thing to do.

I have 6" wrist as well. Remove the removable link on the other side and move the kingpin on the already shortened end to the first hole to recenter it all

As long as the clasp is comfortable I tend not to worry whether it's centred. I do however like the watch head to be centred. Yours looks perfect from the photo.

thanks for this thread - I too am a new owner of a 14060M, and my wrist is 6.75". I am in a similar boat but don't quite need to consider removing a permanent link.

I removed permanent link on my 14060M and it was what needed to happen. Look through my post history for more info

But my solution wasn't so extreme.
