I use a Bergeon 7825 and it's pretty painless..... I highly recommended you practice on a beater watch first.... Just tape the lugs and make sure you careful to hold the strap/bracelet and the head of the watch tightly once one of the spring bars is in otherwise the spring bar could fly loose...

Hope you don't mind me using your thread to provide my experience with the bracelet. Started off by removing 1 link but it wears just a bit loose. Tried it for 2 weeks and it is indeed very comfortable but I have a nagging feeling that if it is just a bit tighter, it will wear even better. Hence I called and reserved a 1.5 link at the local service centre. However, after swapping 2 additional links for the 1.5, it now wears very tight. To the point where you can see the bracelet marks after wearing it for a while. So for me, the 1.5 doesn't work out and I will swap back the 2 links. |

If adding back the 2 standard links is more comfortable, then I would go with that route.... You always can sell the 1.5 link with little to no lose of money.... Not sure where you mount your 1.5 link..... In order to get the maximum length & comfort of your 1.5 link, it should be mount next to the permanent link....

Did it at the service centre and the 1.5 link is put right next to the clasp as per their recommendation. And I realised that choosing the 1.5 doesn't mean you are giving up half a link. It is more like giving up 0.75 of a link. Seems to be due to the gaps between the links which resulted in a tighter fit than expected. Keeping the 1.5 just in case I need it one day Sent from my SM-G781B using Tapatalk |

Later I found out from my watchmaker in order to take the full advantage of the 1.5 link is to mount it next to the to the permanent link.... I take his advice and I find it more comfortable during the hot & humid weather...... You might want to try it someday.....

Nice thanks for the review, am only just learning more in depth about PP and didn’t even know the aquanaut came on a bracelet.

I think it is esthetically more discrete with the 1.5 link next to the clasp, but have been surprised by how tight it made the bracelet compared to the looseness with the 2 links in place previously. |

Not mine picture... I wouldn't do it to the Nautilus because the ugly look would bother me if the 1.5 link mount next to the permanent link.... If the Aquanaut had the same result as the Nautilus I wouldn't do it either.... Lucky the Aquanaut 1.5 link blend well with the other links, as you could see on (post 78) pictures.... Couldn't even tell where the 1.5 link is installed, unlike the Nautilus 1.5 link where you could spot a mile away.....
