Re: Seamaster bracelet Help!
In Response To: Seamaster bracelet Help! ()

Hi there

It's really a subjective matter, for personal preference. But yes, you should have some balance.

I usually have 1 less link on the side facing me (when I look at my watch) since it makes sense to have a slight tilt that way, rather than the opposite.

It's really a matter of trial-and-error. And since there's no micro-adjustment feature on the bracelet, you have somewhat fewer options.

: I recently purchased the 300 M Diver
: Chronometer Seamaster. What an amazing
