I know there were instructions on here someplaceon how to make minor adjustment to my Chronomat Pilot bracelet but can't find them. I took out 1 link but it's too tight now. How do I make the minor adjustment needed? Thanks.

The clasp has a four setting micro adjustment mechanism that equates to one link, you can just press the end of the spring bar in to move it between positions. Depending on hte position that it is currently in you may need to add back the link and then tighten the micro adjustment to get it to feel right,

that's what i thought but wasn't sure if it was spring loaded or how to move it? do you need to depress both sides or is only one of them a spring. i am trying to push it in and not having much luck. thanks again..

Both sides are spring loaded, but you only have to press one side in to pop out that side and then the other comes out easily. I have no problems with mine, but then I have a spring bar tool :wink:

Agreed - a springbar tool is the best way to solve it, and then add some caution just to prevent scratches. Think twice before action and you should be safe.
