15400ST Bracelet
Greetings!
Just picked up a 15400ST with the black dial and I absolutely love the watch but having a tough time finding the perfect fit for the bracelet....if I take out 3 links, it's too tight, with only 2 out, it's too loose. Anyone else have this issue? |

Sure they do a 1/2 or 1 1/2 link which might help you find the sweet spot?!

Just call your nearest APSC and order the half link.. I was having a hard time getting the right size on my 26331 as well and I have just ordered a half link from APSC. Cost about SGD200, not sure what is the exact price yet.
I also had same issue on my 42 ROO grey with bracelet last year. Had to order half link as well. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro |

The 1.5x link will solve this. I recently ordered one for my 39mm Dual Time because I had the same issue you're experiencing.

you re going to need to take out two more links and then add the 1 1/2 then you will basically have 2 1/2 links less than what a standard bracelet would have

Just move up north then you can take out a full link. No idea on price but they only have 1 1/2 links not 1/2 links, but call clearwater as they can get you one.

I had to buy the 1.5 link for my 15400. Made all the difference! I think it was $275.

I could never get a perfect fit with my 15400 even with the 1.5 link. It drove me nuts and ultimately was the straw that made me sell it. Beautiful watch but I just didn't wear it because of the fit issue. I hope you have better success than I did.

1.5 link from Clearwater Service center is what you need. Mine was $271 plus $30 shipping in October last year.
Be sure to register your watch with AP Congrats!! |

You’ll be glad when you get it to fit correctly. Ordering the extra link annoyed me at first but having the 15400 fit comfortably is so worth it.
