114060 bracelet size

Can anyone please tell me if a 114060 will sit tight on a 6.75-inch wrist without having a link removed please?

Thank you.

I have a similar sized wrist, I had a link taken out, the pin is on last hole on clasp....I prefer to wear it loose.

Without removing any links it would be enormous. I have 7 inch wrists and I had to remove 2 or 3 for it to fit.

I assumed the OP is referring to permanent links...but I don't know for sure.

Thanks guys. I did mean removable links. My Milgauss sits just right with the full bracelet, but suspected the Sub would be longer, being (ostensibly) a diving watch and all. Would have preferred to keep it 100% intact.

Without any links removed you could probably fit both your arms in there, like handcuffs, if that's the look you're going for.

It is surprising, but my GV does. It's a little on the loose side indoors, but outdoors (in the tropical Hong Kong heat) it fits just right. That's with the Easylink on the tighter of the two settings.

Depending where you adjust to on the clasp I think you will need 2 removed.
Was you other watch bought new?...I am surprised it fit your size 'out of the box?
Removing a link is dead easy...load of threads here id you do search and even a you tube vid.

Yes, new Milgauss, 12 links. Actually my wrist now seems to be 7 inches. Must be putting on weight. Thanks again.

I tried on a new Milguass at an AD a few weeks ago. It seemed to fit pretty well on my 7.2 inch wrist with all the links. My Sub C needed two links removed to fit properly. Seemed odd that the Milguass fit so well right out of the case.

I have a 6.75" wrist and have 3 links removed for a perfect fit with the glidelock set in the center.
2 links from 12:00, 1 link from 6:00.

Thanks for quick reply, my bracelet has 12 links but fits my wrist which is not that large (7"). All my other watches usually need a couple taking out, seems strange.

It's the same for me and my Milgauss, don't worry about it. You're fine.
