Hi..new member and new Rolex

Hi TRF members,

Let's me introduce myself, I'm Predo from Bangkok, Thailand. Just got my first rolex Sub 14060M and already removed 2 links to adjust according to my wrist 6 inches. However it's seem to be not so fit for my skinny wrist and RSC here informed to me that I need to remove permanent link. Is there any other ways to go beside removing the permanent link.

Cheers,
Predo

Welcome and congrats!

You could get the older GMT clasp as it is shorter to the length, Other then that permanent link removal.

Welcome to TRF!

From the pic it looks like the only solution is to remove a permanent link. Don't worry you're not the first one to do this.

Thank you everybody, so my idea now is to find a used clasp and remove the permanent link..then keep my one..because this is a gift from my wife and i already tried to convince her for removing the link but "NOT ALLOW"

Cheers,
Predo

So two links were removed? I would of thought you would be able to remove upto 4 links?? Plus inside the clasp there is also some adjustment that can be made ...

Welcome to the club.. a great classic watch
Looking at your great pics , it doesn't look like you can easily remove any more links.. so perhaps a change of clasp is needed?
I'm sure the 'experts' will be along to assist shortly
