Small Wrist Solution, thanks to TOOLS and Steve Mulholland!

I have a really small wrists, and my Sub14060M has been very uncomfortable to wear to do the clasp not centered properly. The fit was also either too loose or too tight. Thanks to TOOLS, another member here, he suggested I remove a permanent link on my Sub14060M six o'clock side. Great idea, but i did not want to mess with my bracelet. I decided to go on a hunt for a used 93150 bracelet to do this work on versus the original, and keep the original stashed away. I had a hard time sourcing the bracelet for a price that I could live with, until Steve Mulholland found ONLY a six o'clock side of the bracelet hanging around in his parts bin. No twelve o'clock links, clasp or endlinks. Which is fine because I really only needed the six o'clock side to perform the bracelet canabolism. Well it gets even better...come to find out, the previous owner, had already performed this work on that set of links, and removed a permanent link. Interestingly, that person removed the third permanent link and not the last permanent (4th), and then reatached the 4th link to the 2nd. It looks even been that way (IMO), where you would imagine the the 4th link being removed looking a tad better. Amazing! There is a small gap between the 2nd and 3rd link but it is hardly noticable. Couldn't have worked out any better for me, and most importantly, the removal of the link has made a world of difference.

Thank you Steve M, you were great to work with, and still can't believe how this all worked out for us both.

Here are some few photos (the fit before and after, then the links)...
