Q on resizing Nautilus bracelets
Hello all,
I was wondering if there is a "science" behind the minimum and maximum bracelet resizing of PP Nautilus. That is, is there a generalizable ratio between maximum bracelet length and the smallest resizing that can be done, or are there any "rules" to resizing that people know of?
If we take the average "will fit up to a 7 inch wrist" bracelet, what can we say the minimum size is? Or does it depend on the model? (In case it matters, I'm specifically interested in knowing about the 3800 and 3900, both of which come on the same length bracelet I believe (although they are of course different widths))
Many thanks for your thoughts,
Matt
