hi guys i am getting ready to order the b01, I want to get it with ocean racer bracelet.

only problem is that i have a really small wrist and it measures 14.5 mm. I took off all links on my avenger skyland with pro2 link and it was still a little loose. so I want to know if the b01 with ocean racer bracelet could be cut to fit my tiny wrist. also can that bracelet be ordered in smaller size?

Do you mean 14.5 cm, or about 5.7 inches?

I have a pretty small wrist at between 6.25 and 6.50 inches and I wear my Steelfish on an Ocean Racer. Cut to fit me, the rubber strap has two empty holes on each side (to be precise, 3 empty holes on each side, one of which is used by a springbar leaving 2 empty when the watch is worn); the holes are nearly 1/4" apart meaning that I could still "shrink" my strap by almost 1/2" on each side for a total of close to 1" more in adjustment. Taking all that into account, along with the adjustment in the clasp itself, I believe the strap can be made to fit you, with room to spare.

When I reviewed the Ocean Racer when it first became available in 22mm, I think I commented on the fact that the strap could be cut down to fit a really small wrist. Unless the design of the strap has changed from my early version, that should still hold true.

My wife wears an OR with approximately 6" wrists and there are still plenty of links left.
