Don’t know if anyone has seen this article about sizing .. just ran across it and makes some good points about how link sits over hinge.

Hey guys had to revive an old thread.. as the weather is getting colder .. bracelet has been moving around a bit more (5 links-12 o’clock & 4 links-6 o’clock). Picked up a polished out half link (sub), but haven’t swapped out yet as I think it’ll make bracelet too tight.

Anyway, took it to the AD and had the micro adjust in bracelet moved from largest position with easy link closed to smallest position with easylink open. Effectively making bracelet 2mm smaller. It’s a bit snug now. Started to think if I did swap out half link on 6’oclock side and move micro adjust back it might get a better fit with blades in underside of clasp and make it more comfortable. As it looks like one side underneath is not touching the wrist. Don’t know if 3 or 3.5 links on 6 might cant it too much to one side like before again. Here are some pics:

Position wise looks good / centered. If were you would give a try to the half link if already have it to see try the perfect fit you are lolling for

I think that might do the trick on the 12’oclock side and moving to middle of micro adjust because it seems like a cantilever situation now

Had similar sizing challenges when I had a BLNR which has the same/similar bracelet to the OPs Daytona and I’ve got the same wrist dimensions and a flat wrist too.

The longer sub clasp looks to fit me so much better in my experience. And I’m a 4 link 6 o’clock side and 5 at 12 too...



When Ibjad the BLNR the clasp always sat one sided (although the blade was centred!)

My sub is definitely much easier to set up and comfortable at 4/4 links.. Daytona currently at 5/4. So you swapped out the clasp on your BLNR?

But clasp is sitting far over to one side of the wrist now and not centered. Would evening out the links on each side fix this issue?

That’s way off. Nothing normal whatsoever. Resize it yourself takes minutes.

Sorry no I didn’t. When I had a BLNR it stayed stock but the clasp always looked off centre compared to by SD4K/SUBC clasp which have always fitted spot on.
