Shark Mesh shortening?

[Lol-x]

Hi

I got this $39.99 shark mesh bracelet, but even on the smallest pin-hole setting its 185mm

Its way too long, is there anything I can do to shorten this?

The seller stated: Length: 180mm (max); 125mm (min), but its 185mm on the shortest setting....I'm just wondering if I'm missing something here






Thanks for any help...

Steve,

I've successfully used a Dremel [some use wire cutters] to remove one row at at time. Make sure to measure twice, cut once, cause they don't go back on. Always remove more from the 6:00 side to center the clasp.

Cutting sounds like the only way Steve as Dan has advised. I love the retro look of this style of bracelet, we’ll need so after installation pics!

OK thanks Dan, I've got wire cutters but don't know whether the nose will be narrow enough to get in the gaps between the links to work. I'll give it a try.
The clasp has a kind of steep bend in it, so I hope it will be comfortable. Like you say care will be needed for this procedure to get it right so that the contour of the clasp matches the curved part of my wrist.
Thanks Tim, yes I'll maybe give this a try next weekend, if I have the wire cutters that work.

They should have advertised this bracelet as "Buy a bracelet and become a watchmaker only $39.99"
