Help with Migauss Bracelet Adjustment

Hi All,

Hope some can help me with the adjustment of my Milgauss.

I bought it just before Xmas and had 2 links removed (1 from the 6 o'clock side and 1 from the 12 o'clock side). The bracelet is positioned on the middle setting of the micro adjustmnet within the clasp and with the easy link in its closed position the fit is snug.

When I move the bracelet to the larger setting on the clasp micro adjustment the watch is too large and the positioing of the clasp appears to be off centre.

Its almost that I need just 2-3mm increase in bracelet size but am not sure how I get this.

Here's the question!! Is there any sizing guides that say what the size is of micro ajustments and links. If I had this info then I could say add another link to the 12 o'clock side and then move the bacelet to the smallest size in the clasp.

Sorry for the long note - its driving me mad

PS. I dont have this problem on my SubC bracelet - great design!!

Sorry, I'm a little lost...

You've had the watch adjusted, removed 2 links and using the slide clasp achieve a snug fitting, which is good, right?

Yet... If you move the slide clasp to fully open, the watch sits off centre? well, why would you want to do this? Or do you want a snug fit and a bling bling fall off the wrist look?

confused

p.s pics might help

Thanks for the reply and apologies for the confusion.

What I am looking for is to find a little more lenght in the bracelet. I do not like the watch to be too loose but my current bracelet length is just a little too snug.

Just wanted to see if I can find a little more lenght by understanding the size differences between a link and micro-adjustment.

For example, am I better adding a link to the 6 o'clock side and then moving the bracelet to the smallest setting on the micro settings within the clasp.

Hope this makes more sense.

I know exactly what you mean, am having the same problem with my Milgauss which i recently purchased. Have taken two links off (not sure what side 6 or 12o'clock side) but find the fit to be a little to snug especially if my wrist flexes but a little to loose when the easylink extension is deployed and i would prefer not to always wear the watch in the easylink setting anyway. My Sub 16610 is a perfect fit and has two links removed, maybe because its older and the bracelet has stretched a little it fits better???...i havn't been back to a dealers yet and i don't have the tools to do it myself but i think its just a simple case of spending a little time getting the AD to size it correctly...

You may want to add 1 link back into the bracelet and try various setting on the micro & Easylink. Remember that Summer will be here soon and all of us swell a little then
