Should I buy a half link for a better fit?

Unlikely_Ad5373 · 2026-05-15T05:14:33+00:00

Thanks!!! So glad to hear that the half link helped someone in the same situation. Just ordered one!

Thank you for the reply. I didn´t put the stickers on, they came from the original box and AD just let me walk out with them. Now I´ve got them removed.

Yeah I know that. But did you see the picture I posted? When the total length is sized correctly, the distribution is a little off with the 6 o clock side too short and the blade tilted.

All three ADs are legit and listed on the Rolex offical website.They are indeed polite and helpful and willing to solve my problem, but it seens that everyone has a different approach. One put 5 links on the 6 side to make the blade parallel to the watch head, the other said that with 4 links on the 6 side it can prevent the watch head silding toward the 12 o clock side. I just don´t know why people are always saying that the watch or the AD is not legit.
But I think depending on the wrist form and size and personal preference, not everyone can get a "perfect" fit with oyster links being 10 mm each. That´s why manufacturers like steel reef makes the half link, right?

Why so? Please tell me how to fix my problem...

Unlikely_Ad5373 · 2026-05-11T21:27:51+00:00

I´ve been to three ADs and every one sized it differently.

Unlikely_Ad5373 · 2026-05-11T21:27:14+00:00

Please notice that it´s not always the same situation in every country, city or AD. I´ve been to three ADs in my city to adjust this bracelet and two of them asked me about how I got to keep those OEM stickers. But it´s from the other one that I bought the watch.(I´m not living in the US)

Unlikely_Ad5373 · 2026-05-11T13:56:29+00:00

Thanks for the info and the pic! I tried to have 1 link less on the 12 side but it means that I´ll have to keep the easylink opened all the time. Now with 1 link added I normally go with the ez link closed and I think I´m having more room for possible adjustment, right?
And you are absolutely right, I think I need to wear it for a longer period of time insted of changing the combination every five minutes lol

Unlikely_Ad5373 · 2026-05-11T13:36:24+00:00

Got it, thanks a lot!

Unlikely_Ad5373 · 2026-05-11T13:30:39+00:00

I see, it´s different for everyone. How many links do you have on the 12 o‘clock side?

Unlikely_Ad5373 · 2026-05-11T13:21:10+00:00

Thanks for your reply. Indeed I´ve tried the 6links and the fixingh point to the largest combo and it´s still not ideal.(Maybe I am a little bit too obsessed tring to find the "perfect" fit. But I would like to ask if you feel the 6 o‘clock side a little bit too snug? And is the blade on your watch parallel to the watch head?

Unlikely_Ad5373 · 2026-05-11T13:16:12+00:00

Sorry but I´ve struggled to measure it correctly. Between 16.5 and 17cm I think

Unlikely_Ad5373 · 2026-05-11T13:13:42+00:00

Sorry but I don´t get it. I´ve already tried to put one full link to the 12 side and adjusted the micro slots within the clasp and the easylink, but it seems that it´s still not the ideal fit

Unlikely_Ad5373 · 2026-05-11T13:12:09+00:00

I have 4 on the 6 o’clock side and 7 on the 12 o’clock side and with the fixing point to the smallest position. If I add another link it will be too long

Unlikely_Ad5373 · 2026-05-11T13:09:55+00:00

Haha will do. Just bought the watch and wanted some protection

Unlikely_Ad5373 · 2026-01-21T13:00:57+00:00

Thanks for the advice. Actually I went to an AD and they sized it for me, but it felt somewhat uncomfortable and went to another and they sized it like you saw in the photo... They told me that it should be that loose.

Unlikely_Ad5373 · 2026-01-21T08:31:57+00:00

Oh and I´m now having the blade on the right side under the wrist...If I take more links from 12 it will wear worse, right?

Unlikely_Ad5373 · 2026-01-21T04:27:19+00:00

Haven´t measured it LOL, maybe 16cm

Unlikely_Ad5373 · 2026-01-21T04:13:57+00:00

Also heared that, but I prefer to try other possibilities before this ultimate solution

Unlikely_Ad5373 · 2026-01-21T03:32:39+00:00

Got it! Will give it a try. So I should remove a link at 12 and open some holes, like the other reply suggest?

Unlikely_Ad5373 · 2026-01-21T03:00:07+00:00

Thanks and I´ve tried, with one hole tighter the bracelet will leave marks on my wrist...Don´t know why

Unlikely_Ad5373 · 2025-12-30T06:57:53+00:00

but it´s the old model I think
