1861 Adjustable Bracelet

Update: one of members here sold me the three position clasp and it's working great. (Thank you @Burrogs!). Can't tell much of a difference in the weight and the clasp looks like it belongs on the bracelet. The original clasp made the bracelet pretty tight in hot weather - I could still wear it but it was uncomfortable. Although the six position would have given me a lot more adjustment, this gives me a little breathing room without the weight and size of the six position clasp.

Hi Lyle, Glad to hear it worked out for you.

Can you comment on how much movement there is on the 3 position clasp vs the 2 microadjustments on the stock clasp?

Also can you comment on the fit vs the standard clasp (e.g.., loosest setting on both is the same fit)?

The three position clasp is *slightly* longer than the original clasp on the 1958/957 bracelet. I had the original clasp set on the outer micro-adjustment hole - that was a hair too tight when my wrist was "normal". With the three position clasp in its shortest position, it now fits me properly, and I have the option of enlarging it when I need to. Some pictures:

Thanks for the detailed reply Lyle. I am tempted to try the 3 position clasp.
At CAD 400 (USD 325), I am in no hurry though and will see the used section. Thanks again!
