Breaking of link in oyster bracelet

[ak0defiance]

got this problem also. i change the direction of the bracelet. intial 12oclock side to 6. and 6 to 12. solve the problem but the clasp goto clip in opposite way.

blame it on my inability to accept the change in bracelet direction. I did so but went back 2 days later to change it back... feels weird...

anyway will update when i get the rolex back on wed... cross fingers and hope it will be ok....

Update

Yo guys,

this is an update of something i thought i would never do - break a link

Well ... I just did

Well, the watch does not cantilever too much to the figure 12 side now and is a little more centralised without me having to adjust much. I must say, the good fit is so important as it confirms and also allows me not to regret it even after the disapproving shake of the head from the person who returned me the watch...

Well he said normally only ladies do it and well that though insulting was still worth it. I believe God gve me small wrists for a reason all 5.9-6 inches of it. Haha

Anyway they did not spoil my watch and also i think they did a rather good job plus gave me a small cloth even though the breaking was free of charge.

They did not guarantee the lifespan of the bracelet but from the looks of it, it was a job well done.

Well, if anyone wants to do this i highly recommend esp if you do not consider selling in the near future

As now, the fit is still not perfect but i believe if your wrist is anywhere from 6.2-6.5 inch, the cutting of one link at the figure 6 side makes all the difference. To me, this is good enough.
