To give is better than to receive...

I gave away a Rolex today - TT sub that I haven't worn for a while. The lucky recipient? My better half. She now has more Rolex watches than I do. Hmmm. Probably some subconscious thinking taking place there...

Anyway, it is a 90's-era two tone sub that she's admired. She has very small wrists. I took out all the links that I could and moved the pin on the clasp to the smallest setting. Still probably a link too big. She has a Hulk where the clasp slides back and forth and that one fits her perfectly.

What are my options to make this one even smaller?

If it will always be hers, consider having a permanent link removed.

take the LV from her.

she doesn't need it and it doesn't fit -- explain to her that thing about giving is better than receiving.
