Awesome- glad you figured it out.
Where are you on the clasp? If you wear it loosely (as do I) you may get away just removing the last removable link

:::::: another rabbit hole馃榾

In my experience, if you wear an automatic/self-winding watch that is not reasonably tight on your wrist and able to benefit fully from your arm movements, it鈥檚 sometimes the case that the watch flops, rather than the rotor moves and the power reserve gets insufficient movement to do it鈥檚 job.

Ah! Finally got around to removing the last removable link. It was a little stressful, but I gradually got a feel for it. BUT: at some point I'll want to remove one non-removable link from the 6 o'clock side, and then use the micro-adjust holes on the clasp to center the clasp. (The bracelet is too long on the 12 side right now.) Baby steps!

haha! Thanks for this warning! The last thing I need is to go to class, and have my watch stop halfway through. My students would not be pleased!

But I hope that having removed the link will help with this! 馃榾

I鈥檝e got skinny wrists and sometimes end up with almost as many spare links as are left in the bracelet!

Thank you for sharing that! I had hoped, when I got the watch, that there would be more removable links--especially on the 6 side. But they had all been removed already! So, as I've written above, I'll finally have to take the plunge and remove one permanent link from the 6 side. I'm trepidatious, but I'll get a better fit! Courage!

A little wiggle is fine on a bracelet- that actually how I prefer it otherwise I feel strapped in. If I can rotate the watch around my wrist with little resistance- then it鈥檚 too loose.
