Incoming 5711 1R, question about bracelet...

Hello everyone,
I just got from my AD a 5711 1R, i absolutely love the watch, but couldn’t get the perfect fit, if they took 1 link it was too loose, 2 links and it was too tight

anyone know a solution for this issue?

Congrats on the watch! Mine does feel tight when my wrist swells a bit so adjustability would be nice but I do like the smooth bracelet aesthetic so you have to as ever, suffer for beauty.

If the second photo is the status of removal 1 link, I will accept it instead of removing 2 links and replace with 1.5 link.

Yep if your AD values your business at all they should be able to get you a 1.5 link free. My AD was able to get one for me to finally get the perfect sizing on my 5167/1a last year.

Incredible watch, I've wanted the same one since it was first announced. Would you mind sharing how long it took you to get it?
