I am trying to get my watch to fit and was wondering if I could slide the bracelet towards this indentation on the clasp. Is this possible and how?

Just the micro adjustment on the easy link clasp. It is fairly easy to move. It just requires using a spring bar tool. Use the partially grooved path to move the the spring straight out and then follow the next path to the desired pin hole. If you don't want to try, easy job at any AD with minimal to no cost. The middle fits me best for now, but will see in the dead of winter.

Yes you can do it, its why they have those holes there. Or you could fold the clasp into the winter setting. But if you took it to a Rolex stockist they should do it for free..I couldn't imagine charging a customer for that it literally takes a couple of seconds.

Thanks guys. I will search for a video now that I know what it's called and make the decision if I can handle it or not.

So I decided to take it to a dealer and get help. They did this to my watch and said they didn't know how to fix it. Any idea what I should do now?

Wow. Seriously? They screwed that up. You'll have to name that dealer as a courtesy to others.

Now it needs professional attention. There are two springbars in the clasp...one on the easylink and the other that holds the clasp lock together....someone removed the wrong one (clasp lock). Never seen this one before.

Reed's in Memphis. I'm taking it to another AD today.

I had the same thing happen to my first GMTIIC easy link bracelet. I was able to "fix" it, although I cannot remember the details. In fact, I had forgotten all about it until I saw your picture. I don't remember it being all that difficult.

LSUfan · 11 July 2016, 11:56 PM

I'm going to have the wife take it somewhere today. I am shocked they did this to my watch.

michigan.watches · 12 July 2016, 07:11 AM

Take it to a qualified watchmaker or a Rolex AD. Nothing is broken. Whoever did this just doesn't know what they are doing.

^ this. Especially the last part -LOL

LSUfan · 12 July 2016, 08:48 AM

I took it in and they have to keep it. They said some part was put in backwards.

steviebeat · 12 July 2016, 07:55 PM

wow if this went on in any place I worked people would be in trouble..can't see why it happened in the first place but also can't see why someone wants to keep it..its an easy job to fix it might take a while if you are doing it for the first time but its a job to do while the customer waits. Its like keeping the watch in to tighten a bracelet screw level of complication.
