AT Bracelet

After a lot of thought I finally bought a new AT (black face, steel bracelet) - and v.nice it is too.

However, I have been struggling with the bracelet and wondered if anyone can help. After some adjustments I find that the watch is a bit on the snug side and causes some discomfort especially thumb - perhaps too tight (although I can slide a finger between bracelet and wrist OK when it's on). If I add half a link, although it's a bit more comfortable, the watch tends to slide over the bottom boney part of my wrist so that when you flex your hand it catches against the bracelet. It feels especially odd when walking + have to keep shaking the watch up and down the wrist to get out of the way.

I'm getting to the point where I might not be able to wear it 24/7 as planned if at all which isn't ideal. Any advice would be appreciated, other than selling it on or taking back to the jeweller (who have been v.helpful adjusting it so far).

grrr!

Clive.
