premiumdesigners Posted July 13, 2006 Report Posted July 13, 2006 Im gonna ask my watchmaker to see what he thinks. I dont see why it couldnt be done. we're talkin 1mm on each side
sevomd Posted July 13, 2006 Report Posted July 13, 2006 I don't see how a dremel would be able to add 1mm on each side of the end links. Eddy
Dario33 Posted July 13, 2006 Report Posted July 13, 2006 You never know! I'd be very curious if this can be corrected!
fitmic Posted July 13, 2006 Report Posted July 13, 2006 I don't see how a dremel would be able to add 1mm on each side of the end links. Eddy Perhaps he's planing to buy a gen bracelet?

Estaban Posted July 13, 2006 Report Posted July 13, 2006 Like I said in my PM, I think a 20mm strap might look silly on a 45mm watch. Much less noticable to keep the bracelet on.

You're right on the strap. However, if we grind down 1mm on each side of the lugs, a 22mm band will fit, theoretically anyway. No?
tallguy83 Posted July 13, 2006 Report Posted July 13, 2006 1 mm is a lot when you're talking about the depth of those lugholes. Unless you're planning on drilling those out from the inside of the lug (read: hard to do), you will probably compromise how securely the springbar holds the strap to the watch.
Bignasty Posted July 13, 2006 Report Posted July 13, 2006 seems to me it would be easier to do it with a belt sander than a dremel. First and foremost you need the right tool for the job! Jon

Also agree the lug holes could prove to be problem. Also consider that the case slopes downward at the bracelet, so removing and widening this area will make the case height higher at the bracelet. Keep us posted I'm very interested to see the results! Cheers, Jon
