| Post subject: | Adjusting for thin wrist |
Hi I recently bought my first Breitling and love it. On sizing it to my smaller wrist I'm trying to get the clasp centered on the bottom as its off somewhat now and sits a little high. If you can see on the picture I attached its on the lock side where I would need to lose another link but think there are no more to lose. I was just wondering if anyone had any advice. It fits pretty good now and is comfortable but is just a little off. Thanks!

Hi Sled14 and welcome. Breitling bracelets are actually supposed to be a bit off. A blog on that can be found here. http://www.breitlingsource.com/articles_bias.shtml If that doesn't answer your question, I wonder, have you tried using the "fine" adjustment setting on the bracelet clasp or just removing the links? |

Yeah I've removed a bunch of the links and have tried the fine adjustment but its just the left side of the bracelet in the picture is just a little long. It has the last link in there with the screws in it but I don't think theres anyway to remove that and still attach it to the clasp. It has the pin holding it in there but I think its permanently attached. |

I'm not sure I have any more suggestions. Sorry. I'm sure someone else has some ideas though.

Nice Aerospace, looks like you have removed all the links you can. No way of centering the clasp now. Be a shame to loose the Pro2 bracelet, but you could try a leather strap or maybe a Diver Pro if you're not happy with it |

Yeah I didn't think I could lose anymore. It fits pretty good now and is almost centered on my wrist so I'm definitely gonna keep it. Thanks for the help! |

You have more links on one side than the other. Try to have the same amount of links on each side of the clasp and see if that helps!

The same thing happened to me with my new Super Avenger, while wearing the watch center the clasp on your wrist the way you like it, find out which side of the bracelet has more links than the other, count how many need to be remove and put them on the other side to balance it! |
