I've got 2 Emergency models,of which i got on a whim

and and going to sell one,as i don't wear them and have 1 in a polished stainless steel bracelet and curious

if it is easily adjustable,or,if it needs to be fit by a jeweler.

If that is the one i end up keeping,i need it to fit properly,shall i want to wear it sometime,but as of now, it is a little tight..

Thanks in advance..

This is the band..

Already answered where you asked the same question in your sales thread.

There is a degree of micro adjustment in the clasp - the equivalent of a link in total. Looking at the last photo which is the only one that shows the inside of the clasp makes it look as though there may be one hole left to lengthen it, but that will only be the equivalent of 1/4 of a link - you can see the springbar holes just by looking at it.

Other option is just to buy additional links.

Thank you ROFF,but wasn't sure i'd get a response there...

I can wear it the way it is,but if it could be sized up 1 little fraction of an inch,

i'd feel it would be a better fit.

Thanks again sir!!

As Roff said, I think you have that fraction you might be looking for.
From the enlarged picture it looks like you are on the second hole. Normally they have 4.
You should be able to move it two notches down. Just use something pointed like a paper clip to get the spring bar out.
Be careful, they are spring loaded and sometimes can jump out and the little buggers can be difficult to find :-)

Thank you very much!!!

Wasn't sure if i could adjust it,as i've never tried adjusting one before,

but the pin seemed to move up 1 hole, by use of a needle,effortlessly..

I owe you a drink!!
:lol:
