Re: sizing the bracelet?
In Response To: sizing the bracelet? ()

There should be a bit of play in it when you put it on cold. When things warm up your wrist will expand. If it is still too loose you may think about having it sized.

: Hi,

: I've just bought a SMP and I find it absolutely
: amazing! I've heard all the complaints about
: it, but I must say that they are somewhat
: untrue - in my opinion anyhow.
: There's just one thing I would like to know:
: How tight should the bracelet fit my arm? Of
: course this is a matter of individual taste,
: but there must be a general opinion. I've
: been told that there ought to be an equal
: amount of links on each side of the clasp -
: is this true? Right now there are 5 links on
: each side. My wrist measures 17,5 cm = 6,9
: inches, thus the watch is a bit loose.
: Should I have one removed?

: Any recommendation would be appreciated.

: Best regards, Lars Bo Lund
