The perfect fit

[Watchgeek5000]

I know for many people, myself included with smaller wrists (6 3/4) the bracelet on Rolex sport models always seem to tilt to the left on the wrist, never stays center. I know this was discussed before on the forum, but I found a new suggestion that worked for me and my Sea Dweller! The previous discussions suggested removing a permenant link, risking damage to the watch and most of the time destroying the link. Other people simply flipped the clasp around centering the watch. I myself tried that, and it seemed to work, but it looked worse with what looked like I accidently put the bracelet on backwards! Ok, so what was the fix for me? I removed the entire divers extension links, the smaller link with the notch in it is technically a half link, and with that out of the picture, my watch fits totally center! You will be removing a total of 3 links from there, but if you have a smaller wrist this will do the trick and no one will know you did anything. I included a picture of the 3 links removed and how it should look done.

I'm trying to attach a picture.

I'll be honest, it helped a little but still not perfect. It fit better with the clasp flipped around. May have to buy a new style Rolex with a glide lock or the GMT with the half link flip adjustment.
