Quick question on figment, is there a half link available for this bracelet? I have 4 links at the 6 o’clock and I am on the last clasp extension, I would really like to try a half link to shift the clasp further. Name:  660CC976-5783-423B-8538-EF4344640CE3.jpeg

Thank you! I am not using their easy link currently. The overall size of the bracelet is about perfect, I just want to shift the clasp a bit, If I had a half link I could add that to the 6 o’clock, and then tighten up in the clasp.

Congratulations. It’s The best Reference.

I have the older 40mm brother because I don’t have the wrist for that one. Sure wish I did though.

That's a great reference. 50th Anniversary model. Wonder if they will change it this year.

Huge congrats! Great first Rolex! Are you centering clasp or blade? I have about a 7 inch wrist and also usually have 4 links on 6 o clock side to center the folding blade rather than the clasp itself. Very comfortable this way, keeps the watch case in place, and looks great as well. Have fun finding what u prefer. Enjoy that beauty.

Great model! Explorer II is a spectacular reference. If I had to again deploy overseas for 14 months in the desert that would be my choice!
Huge congrats and wear in great health!
