seadweller3 Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 My father-in-law cannot wear his Daytona because his hand is too big and wrist much smaller. When he tries to put the watch on, he forces the pin in the clasp to pop right out and the watch goes flying. At first I thought I could retro-fit a divers extension to alleviate the problem but I have had zero luck finding one (18mm I believe). Do any of the dealers, or anyone else for that matter, make a replacement bracelet? Maybe that's what I need. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Nanuq Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 How about this? Barring that there are 19mm and 20mm oyster aftermarket bracelets out there and a dealer might sell you an extra link when you purchase. Is this contemporary or vintage?

ubiquitous Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Sounds like you just need to add another link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakemaster Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 If he adds links he'll end up with the watch being too big once it's on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polexpete Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 How about this? Yup, whip on a leather strap, you can never go wrong with leather and whips... (sorry i'm on holiday...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I missed the part about the problem being with the bracelet fitting over the hand Though I do believe that an added link with some fine tuning at the clasp could make a difference without fitting too loosely on the wrist. BTW, if a diver's extension is really what's wanted, I do have these two: Daytona style: Sub style: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seadweller3 Posted June 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 PM sent, Ubi. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 If either will work, drop me your address and I'll send these out. I certainly don't need them; the Daytona clasp was fubbered from the factory (stripped screw in the non-extension side link) and I have a few rep Sub clasps laying around; I won't miss it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
