1665 Bracelet Adjustment

[pwygant]

Greetings,

I finally received a beautiful 1665. Been on my wishlist for some time but finally pulled the trigger. I can adjust bracelets on many watches but for some reason this particular model confuses me. It has these simple screws that you "un-screw" and then remove the links. However, I needed to remove 1 1/5 links but this watch doesn't have half sizes so it is a litte tight if I remove 2.

Inside the clasp it has the "diver extension" but for some reason I don't understand what sizing can be done here because if I adjust part of the clasp it won't close and if I move the other it doesn't make sense either?

Ideas - or should I just go on to my NATO I originally planned?

Open up the diver's extension on the clasp. At the end of the extension, where it connects to the clasp, you'll see that it is held in place with a springbar. If you'll notice, on the side of the clasp, there are a series of holes along the edge. You can move the springbar accordingly along the holes to either micro size up or down accordingly in 2mm - 3mm increments.

Hope this helps.

Makes complete sense now and worked like a charm!
