I ordered a 41 Mm ARF Jubilee Flt 904LYG/SS Asia 2824 from TT. Andrew has been great, but my wrist is 18.75cm (7.3in) will it fit out of the box? What do you guys recommend I do if it doesn’t fit ? Looked great and GL’d today. Is this something I can do myself, either adding or subtracting links to make it fit? Thanks guys

Update: Andrew said it should fit, if it’s a LITTLE big no problem. Maybe shouldn’t have posted in new members, sorry mods.

If the watch is to big go to a mall with a watch kiosk. It will only take a few minutes. After you see how it is done you can buy a couple tools and do it yourself. Don’t go to a store that sells Gen’s.

If you can use an eyeglass screwdriver, you should be able to size a Rolex bracelet yourself.

It is easy to remove a link, but please make sure the screwdriver fits the link screw slot properly or you will chew up the screw slot. As above Rx4Time says above use a magnifying eyeglass too, this also helps not to mangle screws.

The tools are cheap and then you have what you need for your next bracelet adjustment :thumbsup:

Yep, in this rep game a set of watchmaker screwdrivers are a must have.... you can find it for 10 or 15 € on Amazon mate :) nearly every high end watch has screwed links

Becareful of the quality you buy. You will find out the low-cost screwdrivers are expensive when you strip a screw or push the screwdriver through the palm of your hand.

^^^^THIS^^^^

Please don't buy cheep Amazon drivers. There is no better brand of driver than Horotec and Esslinger will sell you a basic set of those for 22 bucks, add a set of spare blades and postage and it still comes out under 30 bucks or so. Quality tools will last abnd won't wreck your watch. https://www.esslinger.com/horotec-p...-set-mini-0-60-1-20mm-flat-head-style-blades/

Add a cheap loupe for under 3 bucks: https://www.esslinger.com/jewelry-loupe-and-watchmaker-loupe-standard-plastic-2-5x-10x-choose-power/ If your eyes are good a 3x will do nicely, the higher the power the smaller the focal length (ie: how far it is from the work wen in focus) so don't go too high.

Throw in a spring bar tool (and spare tip set) and you have everything 90% of folk will ever need. https://www.esslinger.com/horotec-full-metal-spring-bar-tool/

If you buy Omegas add a pin punch set as well. https://www.esslinger.com/horotec-set-of-3-watch-band-pin-punches-70-80-and-1-00mm/
