at what point do you take a link out of a bracelet?

    Hey guys,

    I've got an Omega bracelet or two and I'm jigging with them to get the fit just right. I was wondering, when it comes to micro adjustable bracelets, when do you remove a link instead of adjusting the clasp?

    I don't think there's a rule but this is what I do. Our wrist changes size slightly throughout the day and season to season, I tend to like my watches a little loose, not tight so it's an easy one for me. I set the adjustable on the second or third point first, then I take links until it is exactly how I like it whatever that may be. This way I always have a smaller adjustment in each direction, rather than only being able to go on one direction. Easy then to find myself on a trip to a hot humid place and just adjust up...or down.

    Everyone has their own standards for this sort of thing, but personally it's a matter of "slippage" - if the wrist has too much movement up and down the wrist throughout the day, I'll remove a link to anchor it a bit more. Some slippage is normal, of course, but it has to remain within reason.
