Bracelet tips for an in-betweener, 1/2 linker?
Friends,
Are any of you in-between metal bracelet sizes? Does removing X number of links make the watch fit too tightly, but X+1 make it fit too loosely? Are any of you in-betweener, 1/2 linkers??
If so, have you discovered any tips or tricks for remedying this issue? Short of replacing the bracelet with a non-original that happens to size better, I'm at a loss as to what to do.
Many thanks for any thoughts,
Matt

I have a tip for off center fitting
Sometime when links are removed for small wrists the watch sometimes sit off center on your wrist. to center it flip the bracelet around. Opening the clasp is a little odd but it fits nicely.

Depends on what is available
It is most frustrating with metal bracelets when they do not fit well. Also can be hard to solve for when traveling or going between different temperature zones as the wrist expands and contracts. I myself like a snug fit and want to avoid having a watch that moves down my wrist. Last watch I had an issue with was a Patek 5980/1A and my AD ordered a link that was 1.5x. It was not cheap (!) but worth every nickel as the watch then fit perfectly. Not sure this is an alternative for you but would look into what is available in original.
Interesting!
Actually, the bracelet I am having an issue with is also a Nautilus, although older model. Interesting approach you had. I will see what can be done with your suggestion in mind. Thanks!
bracelet links
Had the same issue a while back with my AP Royal Oak Dual Time. I was in between sizes where it was either too loose or too tight with adding a link. My AD ordered me a AP 1/2 link and it worked great. One thing to know about the AP link is that it's not really a 1/2 link. It's really a 1 and 1/2 which replaces two links. On my AP RO PC I used the same method Bill described and flipped the bracelet so that the clasp was the other way and it fit great.
Even if you Nautius is an older model, I'd suggest checking with your AD to see if they can order one for you.
