Re: Sizing bracelet *PIC*
In Response To: Sizing bracelet ()

: I've got a SMP on the way.

Congrats!

: I'm sure I'll need
: the band sized, can any jeweler do it safely

No. Make sure the watch is handled by the repair guy or someone experienced with OMEGA bracelets. Often at jewelry stores, an inexperienced salesperson will take it in the back and do it themselves. Often with very poor results.

Understand tha OMEGA bracelets have loose, tiny parts inside that most other bracelets don't. These are locking collars to hold the pins in tight. People who don't know about these will likely not even notice when they drop out or may lose them on the floor and hope you won't notice.

: How much should I expect to pay to have it
: sized?

Probably $2-10.
