Shortening of a YM bracelet


tostef

Recommended Posts

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

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 ...

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

But thanks for your advice

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? :)

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

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.

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.

Yeah thats weird. Try contacting the seller to see if they have a bracelet that maybe has some more adjustment than the one you got. I thought i had small wrists and i still have a full link i could remove and about 3 notches in the clasp left.. Unfortunatly there isnt much else you can do with that bracelet.. sure you could take a "saw" to it but wow... im not sure how you're gunna wrap up that project and if you do take a saw to it, please post pics ha ha

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.

Yikes!!

haha

Be sure to wrap the "teeth" on those pliers with some cloth tape or something first so you dont destroy your oyster bands finish

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,

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
