President bracelet .. 1.25 link
My 118206 bracelet fit is just on the cusp of sizing where it is a little loose but removing a link makes it too tight.
After reading recent posts here about the 1.25 link I figured that if I removed two links and added the 1.25 then the strap may fit perfect, with this in mind I just gave RSC a ring. They say the 1.25 link is £1686 and as long as they fit it they say I can have 14 days grace for a refund if I don’t find it comfortable. We all know that pricing comes with the territory & as we’re a long time dead I don’t usually shy away from spending money on myself these days, but jeepers that price is not to be sniffed at . I did try but they weren’t interested in taking a couple of links as a swap/part exchange deal lol I’ll have a little think about it before deciding, but maybe I should just eat a few more pies |

Or eat a lot less pies lol.
I have a Plat DD and I'm in the same situation ... it's a little too tight if links are removed, and a little too loose going the other way. The 1.25 link is mighty expensive so I decided to just wear it looser. When the weather is warm, it's a little less loose, and when it's cooler, it's more loose. I don't mind, it's not worn too often, I've my other Rolex's which I rotate it with ... |

I'd eat the pies.
I can say the 1.25 link on my DJ made all the difference for a great fit. Was £42. |

Chris, they say the weather here is due to change at the weekend so that loose fit may not be so loose once you grab some tinnies & get out in the sun, that price is seriously ott, hopefully someone here may have a spare at a fraction for when them wrists get skinny again come the colder weather (end of May then )

I to have the same problem with my DD. I wear it loose then it has room to allow wrist swelling . If I go the other way and take a link out I have it way to tight when my wrist swells .
