Sizing Question

[Max7857]

I have a BLRO Pepsi 126710 on a Jubilee that I am considering selling in part because I am not certain it will be comfortable for a full days wear. I have a 7 1/4" wrist and with the easylink fully extended it feels a little snug but not tight. I have only worn the watch around the house as it still has the plastics on and I hesitate to remove in case I want to sell. I am certain that all the links are present as I bought the watch new from an AD. I did not try it on in the store as the watch was to be a present for my father who while he appreciated the thought said he just does not get out enough to use or justify it. I had bought to replace his Pepsi that he bought in the 70's that he didn't want to spend the money on to service.

My Explorer II and Air King on Oyster bracelets fit just fine in fact i have considered removing a link.

Is there some type of adjustment other than the easylink that the AD can make to the clasp or is purchasing an extra link the only option. I know from reading these boards there are plenty of guys with wrists in the 7 1/2" range wearing the Jubilee bracelet and I never see this issue come up.

Seems to me with all links it should fit without the ez-link deployed. Perhaps take it back to your AD and discuss this problem with him/her. Worst-case you buy a link and live happily ever after, or sell the watch at a tidy profit (assuming you paid retail).

You should have to remove 2 links for a 7.25" wrist. I find the 5mm easy link to be too much adjustment. Too tight when closed and too loose when open. There are micro adjustments in the clasp (need a tiny screw driver or spring bar tool). I've also found on some Oyster bracelets it's makes a huge difference moving links around. Don't know if this would apply to Jubilee.

Extra link

You might way the clasp adjustment for very hot humid days transitioning into air conditioned indoor environments.
