Speaking of bracelet fits

I recently returned back to work from a wonderful two week vacation with my new ss GMT IIc on my wrist. The day I put it on my wrist I knew it was way to loose, so I took it to the AD where my wife purchased it, but they were closed and I live 2 hours away. and they were not going to be open for 4 days due to New year. So I thought to myself, theres no way I'm going to wait to have this baby adjusted so I called a local jeweler and asked if he could take a likn out and he said no problem. So he did take a link out and it fit wonderful. But after reading the other post, I started to realize that my wrist too swell during this time of the year, som time it will be tighter that others, but not too tight.

But I thought I remember reading somewhere that you can actually adjust the size of the braclet without removing a link, somewhere under the clasp. If so, is this something I can do myself? do I need a special tool? If I do need a special tool, I will not be back into the states until May, and where I am, it will be impossible to get out into the economy.

Any suggestions?

Kyle

One more question. Where can I find a large cloth to polish my watch with, and what type of material should I use?

Ohlins posted this nice tutorial.

The "Easy Link" is quite cleverly made and can be folded out without the use of any tools.

JJ has recommended using the type of cloth you can get at an optometrist. The kind you'd polish your glasses with.
