Can i damage the bracelet or the pins?
This one may be silly but...
My wife has really thin wrists, They're so thin that we usually remove 3 or 4 links on a DJ SS/RG midsize bracelet. Thing is after we size her watches they almost don't fit/close on a watch pillow. Since i just gave her a new DJ SS/RG when she put it back in the rolex box the clasp shuts really tight. Do you think this tightness can damaged the bracelet or the pins? If so, is there something like a ladies size watch box? You can check how tight it is here: http://www.rolexforums.com/attachmen...1&d=1284931438

Don't worry, the bracelet is stronger than a pillow.

I would look for a watch box and put the original Rolex box away for safe keeping. Another thing, it doesn't look like your wife's watch needs the clasp to be shut (while storing it on the pillow) since so many links have been removed.

You can take out yet another link and it still won't hurt the bracelet or pins.

If she wants to continue using the box as storage, then just don't shut the clasp. I never shut the clasp on my watch when I'm not wearing it.
I store my watch in the green pouch I received from the RSC when I serviced my watch (clasp undone). Before I got it, I put it in a cloth-lined, leather valet box and just made sure that nothing (e.g. jewelry) scratched it. |

You can damage the clasp if you try to close it forcibly around a larger pillow.. It won't be the pillow that is the problem, but forcing the clasp closed...
You should close the clasp, then squeeze the pillow and slip it inside the watch and you will never damage anything........
