Confirming a 124060 Oyster Steel Half Link will fit on an Explorer 1 224270

[hartsy]

Hello all,

BLUF: will the 16.5 124060 half link fit on my 224270 bracelet to help achieve my perfect fit and is there any reason I should not be doing this?

I have seen this discussed on here after some searching but I have never seen it confirmed. I would like to confirm before ordering the link from my AD.

I am currently trying to find the perfect fit for my new 224270. After a few adjustments and weeks of wear I seem to be awkwardly in-between 2 links removed on loosest micro pin (roughly 103mm) and on link removed on the tightest micro pin (107mm). It would seem my Goldilocks fit is somewhere in the 104-106 range. I would like to get a better fit without having to wear the easy link open 24/7. I have seen folks say the half link has been their solution. I have found an AD who will source the link for me, but I will have to order the link up front and want to make sure it will fit and there will be no negative implications to the bracelet by doing this.

My questions:
- Has anyone successfully done this? - I believe the subC link is 16.5mm in width
- How much length does the half link add? My understanding is, micro pins = 3mm, easy link = 5mm, half link = 6mm, full link = 10mm, I am looking to confirm these measurements
- What is the part number of this link? is 32-33780 correct?
- Are the bracelets for the 124060 and 224270 the same? they are both 21mm lug width.
- Is there any hard in adding a half link to the 224270 bracelet?

If my math above is correct I plan on removing 2 full links, adjusting to the middle micro pin setting, and adding a half link for a total length of 106mm.

Thank you.
