Offshore Bracelet Sizing
Just got my new AP ROC 42mm offshore on bracelet. They took out 5 links at the boutique when sizing. But it was still to loose. They said I would have to send it to AP service center so they could remove an additional link because they are not able to remove anymore links in the store. I guess 5 was the max. Has this happened to anyone else?

Your wrist must be really small?
I have a small 6.5 inch wrist n the bracelet fits perfectly after removing all excess links Sent from my HUAWEI NXT-L29 using Tapatalk |

I think Im around that size as well. AP boutique is going to find out from service center what can be done. I should know tomorrow. Seems like something they should be able to fix as I imagine this happens all the time.

Do you have any wrist shots of the watch? They should be able to take care of you at the SC.

Ill try to post some soon. The boutique said they would have to send it to the service center and there they would remove one link permanently and destroy it. Because all the links that can be taken out are out (5). I opted not to do that, but it is kind annoying that its still a little loose. I live in Miami so when outside its not a problem because it so humid my wrist swells. But in AC its a different story. I still kind of contemplating letting the service center size the bracelet by destroying the one permeant link. What do you folks think?

If the watch on bracelet fits with all 5 removable links out, but is "loose" in the AC, I would NOT remove any more links. Unless the watch head is rotating around your wrist in the AC, you are probably at the best fit you can get.
How does the watch fit on an XS strap? |

Assuming you want to wear and enjoy your watch it would seem you have two options..
- remove the permanent link - sell the watch and move on to something that fits better Not sure how not removing the link - and tryin to wear a watch that doesnt fit and isnt comfortable could be a sustainable solution. Either it fits or it doesnt, right? |

https://www.minus4plus6.com/casebackpad.php Might help avoid the bracelet slipping, and to narrow the fit a tiny bit? |

Thanks that is what I was thinking. I live in South Florida so wearing outside is not a problem. My wrist gets swollen and it sits nice. I think in AC it turns a little but I think that is due to the heaviness of the case and bezel. But it doesn't turn all the way obviously. If it did then it would definitely be to big and I would have to remove a permanent link.

Wow I thought I had the smallest wrist in the planet as I removed 4 links on my jumbo lol/
Looks good on you, maybe I should reconsider adding a diver or chorno to my AP collection. |
