HALF link for GMT BLNR

I called my guy at my local AD on getting a half link for my BLNR. He did not think they made them. Is he correct?

HALF link for GMT BLNR

I got one from my AD for my 116600. It's intended for the bracelet of Sub-C, but fits to the micro-meter ;-)

-and my guess is that it would fit the GMT also. Just get the middle link polished

- via iPhone

He is correct. You will have to get a subc half link and polish the middle, if that's important to you.

Or alternatively, I believe they made such a beast for the YM1. I think I read Jocke talking about it...could be wrong.

This is what my AD did for me with my GMT2C

I thought I needed a half link for my explorer II until a thread here made me aware of the bracelet micro adjust feature. Here's a link to one of the threads that discusses it.

Thanks all. I tried the bracket micro adjustment. Looks like I need to get a sub half link!

Another option Rob is to get the glidelock clasp.

Same here. AD ordered me in a half link for the Sub and had the center link polished.

Same thing i was thinking. If you really need it i would totally do it. Nothing worse than wearing a uncomfortable watch.
