kenmasters Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Hi folks, I bought a GMT II off of silix and after some not so good customer service I decided to sell it to a friend. The problem is the SS braclet won't fit his wrist size.. His wrists are super small.. I'm thinking its like maybe 6.2" or so. I tried adjusting the strap, but it won't get much shorter. I took out all the links/pins, moved the fine adjustment on the bracelet to the shortest position, but its still not enough! What's the solution? Manually pull some links out - is this possible? Get a smaller rolex sub braclet somewhere ? - is it a standard size? Thanks, Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a smaller rolex sub braclet somewhere ? - is it a standard size? I gave a friend 1 of my old Daytona 116520 reps & her wrists are very small (she is 4'11"), but I was able to get it to fit tightly around her wrist by removing all but 1 of the removable links. In fact, I ended up putting 1 of the links back in because she said it was too tight. I am not familar with Silix's bracelets, but be sure you have removed all of the removable links from both sides of the clasp (most bracelets have 2-3 removable links on each side) & adjusted the pin in the clasp all the way to the end. If you have, then you may be out of luck. Have you considered a strap? These watches look quite chic with a strap that matches 1 of the colors in the bezel (black/red or blue/red, etc.).

kenmasters Posted January 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 The only reason why my friend liked my watch was because of the bracelet ! Oh well, I may have do so some surgery on it to make it fit him... I compared it to my Noobmariner bracelet.. its the same length, however, the end links and fine adjustment bars are different... but i don't see any way to make it smaller on the noob either..
