I was lucky enough to win a Rado Golden Horse on eBay the other day. It came with its original BoR bracelet that I need to resize to fit my wrist. How would be the best way to go about doing this? The little rice beads look like they can be prized apart. Would this be to correct way to do it?

 

I cannot tell from pics as there are no side shots of the bracelet ends where the two sections attach to the buckle, but are there any holes telling you there are spring bars hidden in the links at either end? I see the buckle is adjusted all the way and the bracelet has a lot of stretch which makes it longer than when new. Bending the beads probably will not work out well due to distortion when returned back to original shape but may work if careful? Where springbar adjustable links are used they are made by pressing the oval sides together on splined pins. Hard to pull apart without destroying. At least for me.
