Half link for GMT2C
I recently acquired a G serial GMT2C and am having the hardest time getting it sized right. I dont understand why Rolex spaced the "micro adjustment" holes so far apart. I have tried every combination possible and I have come to the conclusion that I need to incorporate a half link on the 6 side.
Right now I am sitting slightly loose with 5 links on the 6 side and 7 on the 12 side with the tightest micro adjust easy link closed. Was thinking I go 4.5 on the 6 side and then use the middle micro adjust. That would put it 1.67mm tighter. Are there any online sources for a sub c half link? Has anyone polished these out to match the PCLs? Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk

Hi Josh,
I had the same issues in the past. I ordered a half link from a Yachtmaster bracelet (116622) Now, the screw supplied with the link will not fit the GMT bracelet, but my watchmaker recut the screw from the GMT link to make it fit. It took him 3 minutes to do and the result is a perfect fit. I am sure there are screws that will fit to be found, but he improvised on the spot

An AD ordered me a SubC half link for my GMT2c and even polished the center link for it to match. You might go out to Moretti's or Lee Michael's and see if they will order you one.
