3 Holes For EasyLink - How Do I Adjust?

I just got my BLNR yesterday and I'm at work so I don't know if this is mentioned in the manual but maybe someone here can give me some quick guidance.

For the Easylink clasp, you can have the easylink in the on or off position. Basically either closed up or extended. But I notice where the Easylink is connected to the clasp, there are indentations and the bracelet came with it connected to the middle indentation. How do I move it over to another hole/indentation? Do I just pull it toward it? I don't want to damage the watch and pull too hard...

No, you cannot just move it by pulling it. You need a spring bar tool.

Tool required. Best option to avoid scratches.

Ok thank you. I have a spring bar tool at home so I'll do it later. It's just a little too tight with the Easylink extended. Yesterday I tried adding a link and closing the Easylink, but it was too loose. So I think a little micro adjustment here or there will be perfect.

The best way to adjust it is to take the screw out of the adjacent link so you can lay the clasp flat (it is always much easier that way) and then use a toothpick (rather than a springbar tool) so that when you inevitably slip off during the first two attempts, you will not damage the surrounding metal.

That is the method that has always worked best for me.

Sounds like the micro will make it just right!
