1.5 Link on 26315

[C_Troy242]

_Finally_ made the jump to switch from 7 & 9 to 8 & 8.5 links.

Managed to hide the atrocity at 12 o'clock whilst keeping clasp reasonably centered: check
Worth it: oh yeah
Creating a new thread to post very ordinary pics: you bet

It makes a huge difference in terms of comfort.

Can attest to that. I wasn't exactly doubting it, but the extent does outweigh the aesthetic sacrifice.

I wasn't doubting either, just agreeing. Should have just came with the watch instead of the hoops I went through to order it and the AD installing it incorrectly first time.

I ended up getting a half link for my RO Chrono and made a big difference. Interestingly, did not need it on my 15407.

Beautiful watch! Glad it worked out for you. I still can't grasp why AP would make it 1.5 instead of .5.

[Toony]

I don’t think the piece would be big enough for a .5 link.

0.5 link would be too narrow to connect to the next link and 1.5 link looks similar to link at the clasp.

Hum. Being the masters they are, I'm surprised AP hasn't come up with a better solution. The RO bracelet is close to perfection. The 1.5 link really stands out.

The watch should come with two 0.75 links. Like others have stated, 0.5 would be too narrow to make a strong link. 0.75 on either side would be great!

There has to be a better way on an otherwise perfect watch bracelet, I like the new Overseas extension (just pull!) but that is only temporary.

[C_Troy242]

The Overseas also comes with a half link on, that can be taken off and swapped for only full links (or combined with an additional half link).

If they come out with 0.75 link in stead of 1.5 link, it still cannot solve the problem because additional of 0.25 link might not be enough. If they have to order 2 of 0.75 links, it will cost them more money.

I have a 1.5 link for my 15300 and 26315. The look doesn’t really bother me but would be nice if AP can somehow incorporate micro adjustment in the bracelet.

Reviving an old thread, but does one just contact a boutique to get the 1.5 link? Is that still the only solution to get a perfect fit?

yeah boutique should either have one or just be able to order one. it's a bit pricy for being steel but well worth the money

I had it get it for my 15500, but not my 15407 or 26239.

I just got my 15500 from the boutique and specifically requested they'd have 1.5 link ready. Good I did that as I needed it for the perfect fit. No extra charge for that link though.
And the longer link doesn't bother me at all. On the contrary happy it exists.

I have the 1.5 link on my 26331. Depending on the time of the year I will either use the 1.5 link or 2 regular links. Some micro adjustments would be awesome!
