Watch Box Pillows too big
Hi, resizing all my watch bracelets to fit my puny wrist have made them too small for watch box pillows. So I just wrap them round the pillows unclasped but they move when I move the box. What do you guys do?

never thought about this problem really, my winder/watch box came with pillows that had these rings around the pillow for people with larger wrists, then you just pull the ring off down to the main pillow for smaller wrists. Im sure you could find loose replacement pillows on eBay.

I had the same problem with my watch box. I use pipe insulation for my watch pillows. Looks okay to me.
 I can send pics if you want later.

Same issue with me but still enough room to close, however pretty tight, I if I just use the easy link then it's a good fit.

Make sure that you are closing your bracelet first, then squeezing the pillow and inserting them into the watch
Many manufacturers do have different size pillows available. If you simply cannot insert your pillow into your watch, you should find smaller pillows or make your own like those shown..
