How many links to take out?

[Louis Balfour]

I've been asked to size this Seiko for someone, and they cannot bring it to me personally.

I am thinking two links.

Anyone saying 3?

3 looks to be a reasonable starter.

Be warned though seiko with the pin and collar are a right faff to size. I bl00dy hate doing them!

It's not. It's one of those with the slide out forks and the links are hook shaped.

I don't want to go too far and him not get it on.

I'd say 3 to start too. Those folded links can be a bugger.

I should add that I have re-sized it once already, taking out about four links, sight unseen.

The remit was "he's a skinny Asian guy".

Have your pal measure his wrist. Here is a very quick clip on how do so easily. You can forward this to them. Add 5-6mm for curvature and you reduce the bracelet length.

Ah Dom, hello, hope you're well.

Unfortunately I think we have missed the boat for measuring, quite literally given the weather.

In your expert opinion, based on the photo, am I taking 2 or 3 out?

2 looks to be the number for me, then play with the micro adjust.

Which was the CORRECT answer.

In fact, I had to loosen the micro adjuster one hole.

That’s great
