Hi Gerardo,

Just came across this thread!!

Well, first off.........a loss of just 8~9 lbs. shouldn't bring about such a drastic change in wrist size.

I'm on the Weight Watchers diet scheme and I've lost 4.5 kgs. (10 lbs.) in recent weeks - NO CHANGES WHATSOEVER TO MY WRIST SIZE - all my watches still fit the same. If anything, my jeans are a bit loose now that I've lost an inch off my waist!!

So I do find it a bit confusing as to how your wrist could "shrink" so much with such a small weight loss??

Well JJ...beats me as well. I have changed some habits, so only semi-logical explanation that I have is that body fat and body water have re-located. Other option is: I AM SHRINKING!

Something did happen that is for sure, still do not know what. I have been wearing a strap watch daily so I thought using one or another length was due to heat, humidity, etc. Until I bought the SS Daytona and had to take 2 links our (always had taken only 1 on sports models)...then tried the DJ, same story (take one more link off) and now DD.

On top of EVERYTHING and because of my good friend JJ, now I am obsessed with the 'centered clasp' thing. Not easy when taking 3 links out.

You're missing a few words there, Tony. Cat got your tongue?

kenhiraihnl · 14 May 2010, 07:36 AM

Not to change the subject, but would an AD like Ben B. re-size a bracelet, even if you didn't buy the watch from them? Just wondering. I paid a reputable watchmaker $15 to remove a link. Worth it to me.

They should, but every AD is different. Some will do it to make you smile, some will charge you. Me? I AM A WIS! Get a set of screwdrivers and a bracelet holder; total less than $15us.
