You're not going to make your wrist any bigger by increasing forearm mass.

as a basic rule if you are all the way tight in the clasp take of a link.

The Sub's glidelock bracelet is amazing. It can be adjusted to fit any wrist perfectly. I wrote a long thread about this a few years ago, when I experimented with several different approaches and I still love it.

Yeah, that's what I do, with my small wrist. I like a tight fit. There's no way any finger is going to fit between the bracelet and my wrist.

7.125" wrist here. I moved the half link from the 12:00 side to the 6:00 side. That left me with only 1.5 removable links on the 6:00 side in total.

Move the half and maybe take another full link out. Then rely on the Glidelock so it isn't too tight.

Beautiful fit for me now.

The solid oyster bracelet with a glidelock clasp is the best watch bracelet and clasp ever made.

It was my only hesitation when buying my Daytona...
