Here is my advice, as i just did it.
Use a paper cutter that one would find at a workplace - sort of a hinged guillotine shaped device that one uses to cut paper. It works great. I have a small wrist and cut only one from each side, as you dont want to overcut. Recall that the bracelet can adjust alot.
The clasp has the omega to the omega side of the strap and the hippocampus to the plorprof side of the strap (those words are on the strap). I have the ploprof side with an extra hole and the omega side with one fewer, due to the clasp adjustment.
It works out well. Need a tool to get the spring bars going. it took me about 45 min and im new at this. Fear is overcutting.
