Realization about sizing GS bracelets

[JR16]

One of my few gripes w GS (heritage line) is the lack of microadjustments for the bracelet/clasp. It’s always hard for me to get a perfect fit. Until now.

Maybe this was obvious to others, and perhaps I’m slow, but I realized today that a GS “half” link is more like a two-thirds link- it measures approx 6mm and a full link is approx 9mm (measured w calipers)... each GS comes w two “half” links. I just got another GS and had them size it at the boutique and it was either too loose or too tight as the SA added or took away a “half” link.

When I got home I took out my tools and realized the above. So instead of adding back another half link (6mm), I swapped out a full link for the second half link (so that both half links were out) thereby adding back 3mm (9-6) rather 6mm. And voila! Perfect fit.

Hope this helps anyone struggling w sizing a GS bracelet.
