  9. Shortening of a YM bracelet

    in The Rolex Area

    Posted · Edited by tostef

    Hi

    last night my bracelet survived the last house on the left,

    but not this link :)

    293362-3815.jpg

    Used to pliers and pulled, very long. But it worked! :thumbsupsmileyanim:

    But do that only if you don't want to use that link further on.

    The hole for the pin that I removed is a little bit smaller, so that the screw doesn't fit anymore.

    So it had to be enlarged with a little drill.

    And now it fits perfectly!

    Thanks for the great idea bertie! :1a:

    Best regards

    Not a difficult job.

    Just hold both outer end of the link with pliers and pull, then the link will disemble. Bear in mind you will need some force to do it. The link is secured by punching pins not screws, so by applying pulling action it will open up.

    Give it a try.

    Oh, that's a great idea. Thank you bertieng. Will try it.

    If it's not working, I'll contact the dealer.

    If I use a saw, then I'll post pics of it :)

    Bought the watch from a trusted seller, two weeks ago. A very good seller actually.

    @ docblackrock: I like the pic of McQueen. Hope this one is not double here :thumbsupsmileyanim:

    Also thanks to all the other ones, who tried to help!

    Best regards,

    Tostef

    hmmm the bracelet must be different then....

    on my sub there are 3 links on each side of the clasp

    on my explorer II there are 3 links on each side of the clasp

    i've never seen a watch with 2 on one side and 1 on the other.... did you buy it second hand? :confused:

    Hi cableguy,

    i bought it new. I'm also a bit confused. If I could remove a second link on the other side

    the watch would fit perfectly.

    Regards tostef

    I can not believe that without any links it still does not fit your wrist.

    Make a pic of it

    Wich kind of wrist size do you have, even i got a small wrist and all my subs have 4 links removed and they fit pretty

    Greetings Navi

    My wrist is about 6.5 inches. Have removed 3 links (one on the left and two on the right side).

    The watch is slipping down to the wrist (little bit too far).

    So, it would fit better if I could remove a second link on the left side. But there's not another

    screw to remove that link.

    Regards

    Tostef

    Ou yea ... i took that for granted ... tostef u removed all of the links totaling 6 links ?

    i mean as cableguy mentioned u have the pettite of pettite wrist size ... my gf has a small wrist and i was able to size the bracelet even for her ...

    regards laz

    Ok, to avoid any misunderstanding. Unfortunately there are only 3 removable links.

    Not three on each side :D

    If I could remove 2 links on each side, that would be great.

    Do such thin wrists exist? :)

    Did u try to move also the pins on the clasp this will also shorten it a bit ... i dont know how much shorter u need it to be but that can help ...

    regards laz

    Yeah, did it to the last hole. But it is a bit too loose, still.

    But thanks for your advice

    regards tostef

    Have removed 3 links, that were connected with screws.

    But that's not enough. One other link should go.

    Is there any possibility to remove another one, eg with a saw?

    Could there be a problem because the bracelet is broadening?

    Thanks for answering

  20. Review of PTs Omega Railmaster

    in The Omega Area

    Posted

    I've been owning the Railmaster for one week now, so here's my short review.

    1) The case (stainless steel) has the same measurements as the gen. Case material is stainless steel,

    the sides are brushed and the front is polished (same as gen).

    2) The bracelet, walnut alligator leather strap nearly the same as the gen, color is a little bit lighter.

    Folding clasp looks great.

    3) The front glass is doomed and AR coated, so that dial has a dark bluish finish. Back glass doesn't have that coating.

    Both glasses are sapphire.

    4) The dial is looking really great. Nearly the same as the gen. The letters have the same font. Only the numbers

    (12, 3, 6, 9) are a little bit more stretched. The second hand is a little bit longer. The loom has a green shine,

    but I haven't looked how long it goes.

    5) The movement is an Swiss ETA 2824-2. Unfortunately the rotor isn't designed as the gen one. But the movement is

    looking nice anyhow.

    So, the Railmaster is a superb watch, looking classy and sophisticated. It's my favourite at the moment. :thumbsupsmileyanim:

    Below are following pics of the gen and the replica. The gen is the one with the steel bracelet, that I downloaded

    from the internet. Unfortunately I didn't find that many pics of a Railmaster with a leather strap. But you can compare the case with these pics quite good. B)

    So, first one gen, second one replica:

    So, work is done, over and out. :blowup:
