section8 Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 What the hell, it's either too loose or too tight with a 1 link difference. I don't like the watch sliding up and down my wrist so I decided to take out another link today, now after about 30 minutes it's starting to get uncomfortable. Any ideas?

gioarmani Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 Try to do this when you are relaxed in the evening and your body's at rest, after you've eaten so your skin & wrist aren't swollen from lack of hydration or too much salt, and make sure you're not exerted (from exercizing, etc.). Make sure you start with the spring-pin that attaches the divers extension to the clasp, positioned in the last available hole (the hole to the right of the red arrow in the last pic). Make sure you have the individual links on each side of the band spaced out, so that the watch case sits centered exactly on top of your wrist: (forgive the crappy pic quality) and that the clasp is exactly centered on the bottom of your wrist, at the same time: Try to have this done so that the watch is just a little bit loose. Now take the watch off, and move the diver extension's spring-pin over to the left one hole, where the arrow is pointing (you might need to move two holes, depending on wrist size). The band should now fit near perfect, but still have just a hair more room for temporary expansion of the wrist, but not so loose it doesn't fit properly--as this will wear the band out faster than is intended. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
section8 Posted December 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 Wow, thanks man - I didn't realize you could adjust the diver's extension. I saw the holes in the clasp but my mind didn't make the connection. We're getting ready to have dinner so I'll do this after I eat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Understood Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 Excellent all around. This is how the fora are supposed to operate! I do personally tend to wear my watches slightly loose or I find myself replacing bent springbars every month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
