Quick question to you "gurus".
I have a Colt chrono that the band was adjusted for me, unfortunately based upon my wrist size, one link out is a little too loose, one link in is a little too tight.
Am I stuck with choosing one fit over the other, or is there a such thing as a "half link" or way to fine tune the fit further.
thanks

You bet. There's a microadjustment on the clasp. If you'll take a look at the clasp you will see a pin where one side of the band attaches. You will also notice a series of holes. Using a small soft object like a toothpick you can compress that spring or pin and move the link in small increments.

Thanks a lot!
Pretty obvious, and other watches I've had have the same band adjustment.
Must have had a brain fart :lol:
