I stopped by my AD today to have them add a link to my new Bentley GT SS bracelet because it was too tight, leaving marks on my wrist. They added 1 link, which made it way too loose so we moved the arm clasp adjustment 3 notches forward. It was all the way back when the watch was too tight (3 notches back). Now the watch hangs and is too loose for my taste. According to my AD, there is no in between. They said it's either this way or the way it was tight before, where it left an imprint on my wrist. I was going to work on it myself at home, but I don't have the right tools. I am going to stop by a different AD this weekend to see if they can get the adjustment right. I should be able to get it perfect right?

Perfect, more or less. Once you run out of the small micro sdjustment holes, you have to add a link and then extend the clasp to the smallest micro adjustment hole to get the next smallest size up. Generally, you should be able to find a suitable size.

I agree, you should be able to fit it quite well. I prefer to have it fit in the middle of the day and preferably so that the micro adjustments are also in the middle. Then I can easily make the bracelet a wee bit smaller in the morning, and a wee bit larger in the afternoon/evening.

Good luck!

Thanks guys. I am going to try and get the tools to do this and adjust it myself. Someone on here mentioned Sears has the mini screwdrivers I'll need to remove the link pins.

Sears, Home Depot, Radio Shack. Ive found 1.4mm to be the best, but your best bet is to take the watch with you to the store and see which one fits the best.

Got the screwdrivers and adjusted it myself. I put it back to the way it was before... a little snug but better than drooping. Sears had alot of choices for specialty jewelry tools.
