SD bracelet question
Hi all, I noticed that the 16600 bracelet has room for adjustment only at the 12:00 side, and you can't remove any links on the 6:00 side, am I correct?
I have a thin wrist (not sure about the size) and I usually take out 2 links at the 12:00 side and 1 link at the 6:00 side in order to center the clasp. Will I be having sizing/fitting problems w/ the SD? Also the clasp is much longer than other models. Please give your inputs and suggestions for a comfortable fit, especially SD owners with thin wrists.. Thanks in advance! |

I am an SD owner with relatively thin wrists.
AFAI remember, that is correct: I don't remember taking out any links from the 6 o'clock position. I removed 2 links from the 12 o'clock (IIRC). The SD sits SLIGHTLY loose, but definitely not floppy. When my wrist swells, it becomes a perfect fit. Time to hypertrophy those muscles! The other alternative is to have an RSC take out a permanent link on the 6'oclock side, but this ruins the clean taper of the bracelet and the link cannot be reused. SNB |

You can always take your SD in and have one of the permanent links removed from the 6 o'clock side if you have fitting problems..
