1.5 Links for RO

[V25V]

Anyone had any success with them?

I have a 15300 and always struggled a bit with the fitment. Now that I have a couple of other pieces with the glidelock, it has become even more evident. Two links out, its somewhat of a bracelet and slides down to my hand too much and crown dig happens. Three links out and good when my wrist is straight but any movement and it is too tight, leaving an impression on my wrist. So I think the 1.5 link is the answer but curious if anyone here has had any success with them before I order from APNA.

Thanks in advance! Photo below for reference, this is with 3 links out. Took one out this morning as with only two, it was sliding around too much.

Yes, I installed a 1.5 link on my Jumbo and it fits my wrist perfectly. Below that its either too tight or wobbles.

Have you got a pic of the underside? Seen a few pics and it doesn’t look that well executed.

Think I need one on my RO.

Here’s a pic. In reality, the link isn’t at all as noticeable as it is in pictures

I also installed the 1.5 link on my jumbo and agree that it now fits perfectly

I needed the 1.5 link for my 15450. I was in the same situation as you, and the 1.5 link solved it perfectly. Fits like a glove now and makes a huge difference in my enjoyment of the RO.

The 1.5 is a must for me. Changed the fit from terrible to excellent!

I recently added a 1.5 link to my ROC, and the fit is much better. I also agree that it’s not as obvious as it might appear in photos. That said, it’s still not going to be as comfortable as a bracelet with glidelock, particularly if you experience significant variations in temperature throughout the day. Even with the 1.5 link, my watch is somewhat loose when I’m indoors and cool, and can get a bit tight if I’m walking around outside when it’s warm and humid.

I had one in a 15400 once, it worked really well for me.

Thanks for all the responses, fellas. It will be here before 10:30am tomorrow, will update with pics and how well it solves the issue. I agree with above, cannot expect it to be as good as a glidelock but can't be worse than too tight or too lose, this would have to get it somewhere in between? We shall see.

Thanks again.
