Sizing a jubilee w/ hidden clasp?
I just bought a Z-serial DJ. It has the jubilee bracelet with hidden clasp. How easy is it to adjust this bracelet for sizing? Is it as easy as the Oyster bracelet, or will this require a trip to my jeweler? Thanks!!!

I just found this pic that JJ had posted in the past. It looks like links can be removed via screws. Can adjustments be made on the clasp as well, or do links have to be added/removed in order to make adjustments?

Congrats on the DJ! There is no fine adjustment if that is what you are asking. You can only size by removing/adding links. The good news is that the links are small so in a sense, they are all like "half" links. Good luck!

Just a regular screw driver, use some lotite if you have some around. (I might have spell it incorrectly.)

Jeff, you can further "fine tune" the bracelet with a 1 1/4 link that is available for the new Jubilees.

Would you post pictures of it, please? As the other members stated, you cannot adjust the clasp, but remove or add links.
