·Hi guys
Been following this forum for a long while and have enjoyed and learnt much on it. Thought I would post a useful first post.
I previously owned a Moonwatch and had bought an adjustable clasp for it because I could never get the right fit. It was brilliant. Due to missing the date window I exchanged it for a 2016 Aqua Terra with day date function. The bracelet, although looking nicer, was such a poor fit. Bought extra half links and played around with the combination, but didn’t get anywhere. It was either too tight or it moved around too much. I have one of those wrists which are larger in the morning and slightly less so in size in the evening.
When I exchanged my watch I kept my adjustable clasp and leather strap/clasp. So i thought I’d look at whether I could change the butterfly clasp over to the adjustable clasp. However, I came across the end links of the adjustable clasp and found them to be narrow. So I looked around, searched forums and couldn’t find the exact end links required. I popped into the local boutique in Birmingham, Uk, who have been very useful in the past, but even they couldn’t help me out! So in the end I had the end links filed by a Jeweler so the bracelet links slot in perfectly!!
The purists may outcast me, but I enjoy wearing the watch so much more now. And personally I think it looks the part too.
