Hi there, this is pretty self explanatory, my watch fits lopsided...

It has 4½ / 5 links at 6 o'clock

6 links at 12 o'clock.

I bought this watch 2nd hand like this, but the previous owner has the clasp on the furthest point, whereas I have it on the opposite, meaning it's emphasised the problem. (yes I have thin wrists :ninjastar:)

Apologies if the pics are head to see.

I know removing a permanent link and extending the clasp would work, but I don't particularly want to remove a permanent link, although I might do If there is no other way. :)
Any ideas on how I can fix this? It's not a huge problem as I'm going to buy a new sub soon, but I'll have to do the same on that, so may as well get some experience in. :)

Cheers.

Maybe you can take a link out from 6 o'clock bracelet then fit it in the 12 0'clock bracelet.

don't worry. This is what happens with my bracelets too. It happens when you have small wrists.

Ah...... did not notice that you have all your removable links taken out. Since there is no more removable link to make any adjustment, i don't think there is anything you can do about it.

Why not turn the clasp around. Then remount the bracelet.

It just involves moving the links around and adjusting the pin position on the clasp,,,,,I'm sure yours is no difference.

Hmm I can't seem to figure anything out unfortunately :p
I may just whack a NATO on it sometime.
What are the new clasps like?

Can't you just take one from the side with 6 links? One of them should be removable

The side with 6 links on is the short one :\

It's because the clasp swallows 2 links on that side.

once you remove all the adjustable links and are left with permanent links, that's it. I don't think there is any way of shortening it short of destroying a permanent link.
