RealReplica Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Well first of all I'm new here so be gentle! I've tried looking around the forum for this info but couldn't find it so I decided to post, if it exists and I've missed it please point me in the right direction. I've recently bought my 2nd replica watch (the first was a very bad quality one so this is probably my first replica watch) and although I've never had problems with bracelet sizes on retail models (own citizen, seiko and tissot) the bracelet that came with my watch is incredibly tight on my wrist. I've tried contacting the seller but he says his supplier doesn't have links and I would need to buy a whole new bracelet for ($85 including shipping) so I could extract the links. Somehow this doesn't seem reasonable since I've paid $300 for the replica watch, I would expect it to fit and if not a link to be available free of charge or at a very reasonable price. I could go and use some other bracelet but one of the things I like the most of the navitimer is precisely its bracelet. So here I am requesting help... Any of you far more experienced in the replica world know somewhere I could find a link for the bracelet at a reasonable price? or if not anywhere I could buy a decent quality replica bracelet for the navitimer (solid links and quality steel finish)? I've googled for 2 days and haven't found anything, well not true since that's how I found these forums and having read a few of the threads I'm glad I did. So if anyone can help out, or one of the replica dealers that visit the site would be so kind to make this available maybe they can win a future custumer. Thank you very much for your time and all help is much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agrippa Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Any and all dealers could get you a few links for your Navi bracelet - if they could be bothered. I'd have sent you a link or two myself if you'd had a two-tone Navi, but since you don't I would try Tony at www.asian7750.com. He's always been very obliging when I've asked him to get me something and his/their prices are about the lowest you'll find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealReplica Posted November 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 That was my view aswell. I could understand on a $50 or $60 watch that they wouldn't do that but when you talk about a reasonable quality replica (and overpriced as I came to find out only too late) I would even expect them to include a link on every order just in case. People loose an awful lot of business on these small things. One thing is for sure, it was the first and last time I used that supplier and he will not see any more money from me ever again and I do plan to get another 4 or 5 watches in the near future if the quality is good. In the end the biggest loss will be his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 (edited) How tight is it? You know there is room for adjustment on the clasp right? You will see a line of small holes on each side of the clasp. Use a pin to remove the spring bar, then move it to the outermost hole. If that doesn't give you enough, post back here.

RealReplica Posted November 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Thank you for your reply Andreww, Yes I am aware that you can adjust the clasp but unfortunately this is already maxed so no luck there. I have a large wrist I guess but I didn't know before ordering as I never needed any extra links on any watch I own or previously owned thats the reason why I didn't request it in the first place, it wont happen again.

chronoluvvv Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 how many links do ya need ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agrippa Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 I have a large wrist I guess From what I've read it seems the Navi actually always/often come with a shorter than usual bracelet. My wrist is only just over 7" and I couldn't use mine either without first getting hold of extra links. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealReplica Posted November 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 how many links do ya need ? I think one link will be sufficient. I can close the watch on the wrist but its too tight so an extra link should do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
