You are a life saver. I tried to explain this issue to the watch guy at the shop and he stared weirdly at me, probably thought I was too finicky. Thanks a ton for this video 👍

I’m a bracelet guy and I appreciate the tips. Thanks, Alessandro!

Brilliant tips! I have a 6.5" wrist and was unable to remove any more links on the 6-o-clock side of my 14060M bracelet. Just flipped it and it now sits perfectly on my wrist. Using the clasp the other way round will take some getting used to, but the main thing is it now fits perfectly. Much better than having a permanent link removed. Thanks!

Man you’re killing it, congrats on the quick growth

Swapping the top part and the bottom really changed the fit!! Thank you sir, my tiny wrist is pleased!

I've learnt my lesson and now I look for bracelets clasps with at least 5 adjustable positions since it will give me a tighter fit. For a 6" wrister like me, an oyster bracelet with 4 removable links and 4 microadjustable positions falls slightly short.

One link more + moving micro-adjustment (half link change) and the watch was loose completely moving on my wrist, one link less and adjusting the micro-adjustemnt and suddenly the watch was making imprints and felt too tight. Was going between them back and forth trying to decide which one could be tolerated more, but not happy with either. Reversing them made soooo much better fit which at last feels right. Was watching so many videos, which were repeating all the useless information, you are the first one bringing something new. Like others in the comments here, thank you very mcuh

Yep, very helpful. No matter from what side I removed link to fit the bracelet to my wrist it felt wrong. Instead I needed to remove 2 links from one side and add 1 to other, now it fits perfectly!

Excellent. About time someone publicised this reverse fitting remedy for better more comfortable fitting bracelets. Reversing straps also makes the watch fall to view better. Thank you.

I have really small wrists (6.25"). My Orient had the problem where I could not remove anymore links from the bottom so the top could be longer so what I ended up doing is actually swapping the top of the bracelet with the bottom from the spring bar point (where it attaches to the case itself). That allowed the bottom to have 1 less link than the top because of how Orient sized it originally but problem with doing this is that the clasp is now upside down. What you can do to flip it back right-side up is removing the clasp itself from the links at the spring bar points and reattaching it the other way. Not sure if any of these explanations made sense but I now have a perfectly sized watch where the clasp is sitting flat and is also right-side up. Hope this helps!

Brilliant. Reversing the clasp got me a perfect fit.

I just adjusted my two bracelets from a 4-5 links split to 3-6 links split and it made both of my dive watches more comfortable to wear, on top of hiding the clasp further underneath my wrist for a smoother shape around my wrist. Thanks a lot for your videos and entire channel, hands down the best one I have come around on YouTube!

dude you are such a ledgend, my gf got me a watch for my birthday. i pulled some links out but could not get it to fit right. i was worried i would have to return it and had already pulled the plastic off. i watched your vid, flipped the clasp around and... boom fits like a glove!

[Choboby]

I accidentally reversed my clasp when I tried adjusting and removing the links to fit my wrist, and you're absolutely right it fits so much better this way!

[mayaindahsari]

Finally, my watch can fit me properly. I felt the watch was too loose. So, I tried to remove 1 link, but it became too tight. Then I tried your tips to flip the clasp, and it works, becomes fit but is not too tight anymore!

Man the last 2-3 watches I sized were doing this. It was driving me crazy turning the watch face all day! Last night I adjusted two. Huge difference! It’s not perfect, but much better and more comfortable? Solid vid!! Thanks!

[Asianredneckwoman]

Great tips! Finally can get a bracelet to fit comfortably.

[TheLumeRoom]

Why did I not think of this?!?! Going to have to check my bracelets now. Nice tip, buddy 👍🏻

[tobyque]

I didnt expect much from this video, but it really gave good tips!!

Before I started adjusting my own bracelets, I was always needing to have the jewelry store employees move links from the bottom to the top. They were always starting out with trying to keep the link counts equal, which meant the bracelets never felt correct. Looking at my 30+ watches with bracelets, the top portions of the bracelets have 2 to 4 more links than the bottom. Even with my two watches with butterfly clasps, the tops have 1/2 and 1 more link.
