Bracelet Adjustment Question

Well, if all goes as planned, I will take possession of a SS GMT IIC tomorrow. I've been searching the forums on brcelet adjustments, but haven't found a great post to outline doing this at home. I have a 6.75in wrist so Im guessing the small adjustments from the clasp will not be enough and Ill have to remove a link. Any pointers, thread links, or other info would be greatly appreciated.

Well, I just got my SS GMT IIc. I had measured my wrist and it was just a bit over 7.25". With the "easylink" closed and the clasp at the middle dimple (out of three available), it is a little loose. I'm going to try to move the clasp adjustment to the smallest dimple this weekend. It didn't stop me from wearing it today though

Looks like you and I have the same sized wrist, Pete. I just moved it one hole in (inside the clasp) and did not have to take off any links.

Good luck - JJ

Just make sure you have the right tool to the do the job. You would need a Bergeon No.6111 for this one.

It's a bit tricky because the clasp has no holes on the outside.

Good luck - JJ
