present so a comfortable fit is achieved.
Establishing the length of the bracelet
Place the watch with its separated bracelet on your wrist and estimate the number of links you need
to remove. If you need to remove several links, try to keep the numbers removed from both halves
of the bracelet as equal as possible to ensure that the clasp remains roughly in the middle of your wrist.
