Sizing ROO bracelet?

Does anyone know of any sites or videos on how to size an AP ROO bracelet?

Will be getting my AP tomorrow and i won't be able to go to an AD till the weekend as I'm working during there opening hours. I would really love to wear it sooner than the weekend. I size my own rolex oyster bracelets. Is it the same concept? Using micro screwdrivers?

Thank you

No need for videos if you’re adept at doing your Rolex bracelets.
Hot water may be needed, to soften any threadlock they’ve used when assembling.

Should one side be longer than the other. Kind of like Rolex the 12 o'clock side usually longer on the bracelet.

I would advise you to try it out with the sizing and size it up to your comfort. It doesn't have any norms so wear as it feels comfortable for you.

I personally have that 'bringing the clasp in the centre of my wrist' OCD

Other than that it's all up to you.

For the sizing, you should be able to size it with a screwdriver set.


Here is a pic of the bracelet from the side view.

You will need a 1.8 mm or 2.0 mm screwdriver for the case, 1.4 mm for bracelet links and a hairdryer (bracelet links are very tight and heat loosens the Loctite). You should also use Loctite 222 while putting the screws back in otherwise they may loosen and back out due to everyday wear/vibrations).

Congrats BTW!!!

Good luck, it's pretty easy - just make sure you use a good quality screwdriver of the right size (1.4).
