Yeah, I don't know how they would be able to do a 3/4 link with the way the links are designed.

@Ashap, maybe they took it to the back then gave you some placebo links!

Maybe it was a Jedi mind trick. We tried lots of different options of links in and out and finally I got the perfect fit.

I know it took an hour or so and around 6-8 attempts at taking out links and putting others in but in the end the fit is bang on and I don’t notice it either rattling around or feeling like a tourniquet.

But Ash, assuming you have your 202 fitted 'snuggly' so when cool it doesn't move on your wrist, do you not find if you get hot your wrist expands and it becomes unbearable? That's my point, that even if one is lucky enough to hit the 'sweet spot' fit wise when you're cold or hot, when the temperature changes and your wrist changes it no longer fits, becoming either too loose or too tight respectively, with no convenient way of adjusting to compensate.

For instance, my 26331IP when cool was too loose, such that it would flop around on my wrist, which was very annoying, often stopping me wearing it - but when I was hot it fitted perfectly - so it became a hot climate watch only, which was ridiculous really!
