Do you extend your easylink often?

Yes, just couldn't find the right fit. I guess there's a reason why SubC and SD43 come with a half link, even though they have glidelock adjustment.

Yeah exactly, if I had a half link for the BLNR or DJ II the easy link would work perfectly

It would be nice if they still had a half link though because I have tried every micro setting hole and every link combination and I still have the same issue. One micro adjustment in and easy link is too tight, one micro adjustment out and easy link is too loose. I have also tried removing full links and trying every setting on the micro adjustment and still the same thing. If I had a half link it would be a perfect fit

If the Easylink has a flexibility of 5mm and the micros have a flexibility of 3.3mm that means we have the fitment accuracy tolerance of 1.7mm. Could someone really be that much of a tweener to not make it comfortable and require a half link?

Yep that's exactly my issue. I have tried every single setting possible multiple times and I am in the "in between" zone. One adjustment one way and the bracelet fits but only with easy link closed, if I open easy link it's way too loose. Move it the other way and it's way too tight with easy link closed. Still having all those options does allow me to get the proper fit, but I have to sacrifice easy links functionality. I have it on the loosest micro adjustment setting with easy link open and the watches fit perfectly but I can't use easy link. If I had a half link I would be able to use it. It kind of sucks but I'm glad it's there because it did allow me to find the right fit

My wrist is 7.25'' for reference

Most of the time I leave it as is and it is sized correctly. But I just returned from a weekend in La Quinta, CA and with temps up to 109 I wore my BLNR with the easy link extended most of the weekend. It is really nice to have when needed, but most of the time I leave it as is.

Wow, so I'm not alone. Thank you for letting me know.

No problem, I'm surprised to see other people who are also in the same position as us

A half link from a SubC bracelet will fit I believe. I want to say one of our moderators...mike...has it in his. You just have to polish the center link

I have never had to use mine, the watch has been to Spain and Italy on numerous occasions.

Interesting, I'll check that out, thank you

Your welcome

[fishingbear]

Daily, for sure.

[Beauregard]

Almost never.

I love my BLRO but wish is had the far more useful Sub clasp.

[Double_A]

Several times a day usually but weirdly enough I only adjust my glide lock once every few days go figure

Bump

Just got mine Monday and installed it on my OP36. Seems like with all settings being equal, the closed easylink makes for a slightly tighter fit than the usual link (not sure what that last link is called).

Really not bad, fits well closed when I'm not being active (evenings watching TV, daytime working at my desk), but I find as soon as I'm even mildly active, out and about, my wrist tightens a bit and I have to extend the easylink. So I find myself adjusting it a few times during the day.

Should there be any concerns about using it so much that eventually it doesn't "clip" as well?

I almost never use the easy link on my GMT, but I use the glidelock on my sub almost every time I wear it. The only downside to the glidelock clasp imho is that it's quite a bit bigger (length wise) than the GMT's clasp with the easy-link

[HTXdev14]

I have found I use the extension mainly in the summer months. As a fellow Texan, I’m sure you’re well aware how hot it gets here. That’s when I use the expansion so it’s not so tight and can get some air under there.

[fsprow]

Never use either the easy link or glide lock - which in my view makes the clasp too long and uncomfortable.
