Well, with all the talk about SeaDwellers and how people with small wrists are just SOL, I decided to put a call in to Rolex to see what they had to say about my ill-fitting 2 month-old nearly-6000 dollar watch. I'm happy to say they solved my-and perhaps many of your-problems.

I just got off the phone with the Rolex Service Center in Southern California and explained to the nice lady my situation-that i needed a link taken out of the 6 o'clock side because it just didn't fit me right. Before I even finished elaborating on the problem she said, yes absolutely we can do that for you just send it in, and since its new we probably won't even charge you for the soldering work--I'll send you the instructions for shipping and a way to measure your wrist in the mail.

I'm stoked. Now I can keep the Sea Dweller I wanted so badly and it will fit me right.

This is great news. I've been tossing and turning on which one to buy. I like the look better without the cyclops so I was thing Sub-no-date, but I really wanted a date and the wrist size issue was bothering me with the SD because I'm a 7" wrist.

Thanks for posting this Chris!!!!!

Did they say how long they would be working on the watch?

Remember you can get a sub date and have the cyclops taken off..no problem. That way you still have a subdate if you want the sub.

Great,get the bracelet right and enjoy the Dweller ...

Is that date window,without the cyclops not just beautiful .. ??

i think its going to be my dream come true if i can get this thing to fit right

I could *maybe* do with this on my Sub, just to centre the clasp

Interested on how this is going to turn out: is there going to be a step in the bracelet on the 6 o'clock side?

Keep us posted

I'm happy for you, Chris. Just hope they do a "neat and tidy" job.

I'd be very keen on seeing the end result!!

Thanks for the update - JJ

I wish you would have posted this before I took the metal saw to my new Sea-Dweller.
