Speedy bracelet link removal

[samson66]

Finally got the bracelet put on my Moonwatch. It was close but it looks like I need to remove one more link. My question is what side should I remove it from? It is pretty balanced right now, total of one link currently removed. Looks like three more are able to be removed from either side. Based on the pics below do you think I should remove a link from the 12 or 6 o'clock side? Thanks!

I would take from the 12 (fat) end to pull the hinged part of the clasp around the bottom of your wrist. It can poke out if it goes the other way. Just make sure you can still adjust out on the second adjusting hole if your wrist swells.
To be honest, it’s a little trial and error, but see how the watch hangs and what the folded clasp is doing when on the wrist. ....and, tape the edge of the bracelet in case the screwdriver slips. Take your time.

Correction......remove from the 6 position to pull the clasp around.

Thanks for your reply, and correction. As I count the links it looks like I have 7 in the "fat" 12 side, and 6 on the 6 side. You are saying it would be better to go with 7 and 5 vs 7 and 7?

That should say 7 and 5 vs 6 and 6, sorry

Looking at mine....5 each side + 1 more link in the 12 o’clock to cover the hinged part of the clasp (yellow). Holding the watch level you should try and get the clasp level so it sits well under your wrist. If the 12 o’clock side is too short, the hinged part can push the bracer out to the side.


Trial and error I’m afraid. It is a tough bracelet to size.

Your wrist is not even because of the pronation of the two longitudinal bones. You should generally always have more links on the 12 side than on the 6 side.

This picture is very helpful. Pretty much exactly as I have it but with on additional link on each side. I will do as recommended and remove one from the 6 o'clock side and see how it looks/feels. I've heard that the Speedy bracelet is hard to get just right....
