The NIB Seamaster Bracelet Should Fit an 8" Wirst>
In Response To: Need Extra Seamaster Bracelet Link ()

I'm a big guy with 7 3/4" wrists and I have a 1/2 link out of the bracelet. My Bracelet a tad loose when cold. I puchased mine NIB from an Authorized Omega Dealer. I just counted and there are 15 full links including the end pieces and clasp connections. There are two 1/2 links (one of mine is out of the bracelet for sizing). You might count to make sure you have all the links; 15 full + 2 halfs. If they are not there, it is possible the watch had been sold, sized and returned. It is also possible that a dealer pulled out links for resale. I would think a full SS link costs from $25 - $50 MSRP. Also, the clasp post should not stick out on the wrist side of the clasp by 2mm. Mine sticks out a tad, but not 1mm or 2mm. Where did you get the watch?
