Small Wrist Solution, thanks to TOOLS and Steve Mulholland!

[Joshua74]

Hello,

Your last link doesn't look the same as mine, I've a small wrist too, and the clasp is well balanced on my wrist because my last link seems to be half link than your "stock" bracelet (without modifying).

I've a 16610LV, my bracelet is not the same than on 14060M or 16610 ?

Here is a picture (there are 4 permanents links (the first, near 6'o clock is not on the picture), and one "half link", attached to the clasp:


Thanks

Thanks to TOOLS, another member here, he suggested I remove a permanent link on my Sub14060M six o'clock side. Great idea, but i did not want to mess with my bracelet. I decided to go on a hunt for a used 93150 bracelet to do this work on versus the original, and keep the original stashed away. I had a hard time sourcing the bracelet for a price that I could live with, until Steve Mulholland found ONLY a six o'clock side of the bracelet hanging around in his parts bin. No twelve o'clock links, clasp or endlinks. Which is fine because I really only needed the six o'clock side to perform the bracelet canabolism. Well it gets even better...come to find out, the previous owner, had already performed this work on that set of links, and removed a permanent link. Interestingly, that person removed the third permanent link and not the last permanent (4th), and then reatached the 4th link to the 2nd. It looks even been that way (IMO), where you would imagine the the 4th link being removed looking a tad better. Amazing! There is a small gap between the 2nd and 3rd link but it is hardly noticable. Couldn't have worked out any better for me, and most importantly, the removal of the link has made a world of difference.

Thank you Steve M, you were great to work with, and still can't believe how this all worked out for us both.

Here are some few photos (the fit before and after, then the links)...

I have my 14060 the same way. Larry's post about it solved it for me.

OTE200,

Take Anders advice and ask to speak with the watchmaker. I find most of the people out on the floors really don't understand what happens when you size braclets in general. They don't know which direction a clasp moves when you add or remove a link. I've even had watchmakers tell me to add more links to the six o'clock side and that will fix my issue. That is when I just walk out of the store.

Joshua, the 14060M is a completly different bracelet from yours. If I had your watches / bracelets with the half link, i MAY not have the problem I do with my Sub and ExpII.

However, with the Exp II, i could care less where the clasp is postioned because it's flush enough and doesn't get in the way.
