Sizing issue with ss non glidelock clasp

Anyone else stuck between 2 link sizes?

After dropping some weight..my explorer ii got too loose. Dropped a link and now its a tad too tight.

Thinking about adding back the link and sizing from the clasp punch holes...anyone else run into this sizing issue?

You could try a half link.

If you have punch holes, it shouldn't be any issue. I adjusted my 16610 via the punch holes during seasonal changes.

Isn't this the way you are supposed to do it...

Well said..after doing some research on rolex sizing i was enlightened to the punch hole sizing option on the clasp...
Been wearing rolexes for many years..just never ran into a resizing process after the first AD purchase link adjustment.

Of course this was all realized after post link removal and loctite 'ing the link screw.

I made my watch tools order from otto frei..so when the new tools come in ill resize it this weekend.

Probably shouldve waited anothet month before link removal given winter weight gain is already starting..

Time to grab the girls hairdryer...
