Question about adjusting Jubilee bracelet

Hi all.... I recently purchased a 31mm Datejust on a Jubilee bracelet for my wife's birthday and the bracelet is just a tad too big for her. The bracelet has only one adjustment screw link on both sides of the bracelet and I have the clasp adjusted to the second to last position which leaves the clasp a bit lopsided on her wrist.

Any suggestions on how to shorten the bracelet so I can move the clasp back out to get it centered on her wrist?

Looks like you’ve got the clasp to its tightest position. Plus, with just one removable link left on the 12 o’clock side, the clasp can’t be centered by your own efforts.

You need some help from a bracelet specialist like Rolliworks to remove 2 or more permanent links on 12 o’clock side and some readjustment of clasp to get centered.

You can probably go to any AD to help size it correctly.

The permanent links pull apart; they are friction fit-together pieces. The AD or watchmaker has a puller device to separate the links.
I would definitely go with Rolliworks for this.

Let Rolliworks know that you have a good fit as-is. That way they can easily determine how many links to remove.
They will likely set the adjustment range to the small adjustment is near the center of the clasp to get the fit for h er arm.
That way there is wiggle room for later size changes.
