·I bought the watch couple months ago, and I can't fit it well to my wrist. I tried removing one link, however it gets really tight, and right now it just slides. Any suggestions on what to do?

·You could see if your Omega dealer can source another half-link for you. Sometimes that alone can make the difference.
The other thing worth noting is that if you wear it tight, it will eventually loosen up a bit.

·lol if you wear it tight, it won't loosen up. It's a modern watch and there's virtually no stretch.
Try moving one or two links from the 6 o'clock side to the 12 o'clock side. It will lessen the sliding.

·For what it’s worth, every modern Omega I’ve owned—including my Aqua Terras—have loosened over time. 100% of them.
But I do tend to wear them on the looser side, generally, and there is an argument to be made that wearing them looser actually contributes more to stretch than wearing them tighter—more movement over time.
And to be clear: I’m talking about a mm or two of stretch, but that’s probably all the op needs.
Some modern Rolex use ceramic pin sleeves, I believe, that completely stop bracelet stretch. But I’ve never had an Omega (well, except for ones I hardly wore) that didn’t. …Just me?

·A few Chicago deep dish pizzas should take care of that! 😉 Lou Malnati's will ship.
I feel your pain though. I could probably go up a half link on mine, but I prefer snug since I'm not wearing it all day long.

·Thank you guys for the advice, to be honest I'm not sure if there are even half links for that bracelet, as all the links are the same, except the end links. Where is the best place to check that online other then going to the AD?

··Burt Macklin, FBIYou can always try calling them. You will just need to provide them the bracelet number, which you should be able to find on the clasp. They can tell you if a half link exists, and if it does, purchase it through them.
