Default Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?

I just got a new watch in, and I have a sizing question. Right now it's a bit too loose, but if I remove one of the links it's way too tight and uncomfortable, so I'm stuck in the middle. Is there anything that can be done about this aside from having someone make a custom link (too much $)?

Does anything exist, maybe a thin round pad of some sort, that could be applied to say the back of the watch to help with the fitment?

What about the buckle? is there a pinset with holes? If so you could move that up or back to adjust as well.

You can only adjust what the watch has available. Higher end watches it's only the links that adjust. Regular watches have some adjustment in the clasp.

Wear it loose, you'll get use to it. Many people think a watch is too loose initially and then are fine with the fit. The only other solution is to buy a strap and swap the bracelet...
