Pelagos LHD Bracelet Fit
Relatively new guy posting here but I have a question... Anyone have fit problem with the Pelagos? With mine, I'm kinda between links. I'm all the way out on the adjustable clasp...and it's a hair too tight on warmer days (which we're about to move into) but when I add a link and tighten the strap all the way down, it's too big. A half-link would be perfection in this case.... is that an option?
Apart from the bracelet fit, I LOVE the watch... |

Can't say it's been an issue for me. I will say I prefer the glidelock to the pelagos clasp.

The is the sole reason I got rid of my black bay and got a 114060. If only a half link was available or 1-2 more holes for micro adjustment. I can't understand why Tudor doesn't have half links.

I'm sort of having the same problem with my BLNR. Remove one link and put the micro adjustment to the loosest setting and it's a tad too tight, add a link in and put it on the tightest setting and it's a tad too tight... I think buying the 114060 with glide lock as my first watch spoiled me lol. Good luck finding a perfect fit

I own two Pelagos watches, the blue and LHD. Early in ownership I went through this and in the winter I take an extra link out and open the adjustable bracelet all the way up. At first it was a bit snug but with the bracelet it does open. In the summer I add the link back and tighten the bracelet. With wrist swelling it work great. Give yourself a little time and you will get used to it. I also would like a half link and talked to the Tudor rep. at a show at my AD and he said he hears it a lot and it has been submitted. Enjoy your watch.

I just leave mine on the springy thing all the time. Wrist swells it opens up, wrist contracts it closes up.
Sorry to be so technical |

Yeah...as others have said, there is no half link option, that I know of anyways. Kinda sucks, as getting the perfect fit has cost me several really nice watches otherwise.
You're going to have to pick the lesser of two evils it sounds like. I would think the "springy thing" option would be best one for you. @Ian: Hey that's what I call it too. |

Agree- springy-thing setting is what works best for me! I feel your pain though ... always seems like I am between holes or links on most watches. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I really disliked the Pelagos bracelet.
funny fit. rough and sharp edges. Bit of hair puller |
