Goldilocks and the 15400

I'm assuming there's not much to be done here but...

When I remove three links it's too tight...
When I remove two links it's way too loose...
When I substitute a link with a 1.5 link it's still too loose...

I must fit exactly between a half-link and a full link. Due to no micro-adjustment I'm struggling to get a really comfortable fit.

Anything I'm missing here?

are the 1/2 links really 1/2 or are they a little bigger? Maybe try swamping for another 1/2 link

Humm... Not sure if they are actually 1.5 exactly. I suppose I could try. Would cost another $250 to find out haha. But maybe worth a shot if I can't live with it.

i went through this myself. I ended up removing four links(two on each side) and added the 1.5 link. Have you tried removing three links and adding the 1.5 link?

If in fact the 1.5 is not actually 1.5 that may work. I always assumed that would net the same as what I did before. Will try tonight.

Just went to try this and realized it's what I've done that makes it ok big. So... 2 links out = too small. 3 links out with a 1.5 = too big.

My wrists seem to fluctuate quite a bit. That's why I originally bought the 1.5 link. Without it it fits too snug with an swelling of the wrist. With the 1.5 in its loose unless it's very hot or my wrists have swelled a lot. I'm struggling to get a good daily fit.

Never had this problem although I gather that's because I don't seek a perfect fit. Hope you find the answer.

I'm assuming you already tried the 2 links out and 1.5 link in?
