I want to make the bracelet of my PO GMT half a link larger. Anybody know how I can do this? I can't work out whether there's an extension system under the buckle or not. Putting a full link back in will be too much so I don't want to do this. Thanks!

Thanks for your replies. Here's my bracelet, are the red circled links half-links?


There doesn't seem to be any adjustment in the clasp:


Agree?

It's a true daily and I work in a harsh environment so it has picked up some grazes along the way. Adds to the character I say and I don't plan on selling it so I don't feel I need to keep it mint! The head is in better condition (see my Alpina photo in the wrist check thread).

That said, I bought it from Iconic Watches and they adjusted the bracelet. I was never particularly happy with how they did it particularly as in my first week of wearing the watch one of the screws popped out completely and had I not been vigilant it would have dropped straight onto concrete from standing height!

I wouldn't mind trying the rubber strap but to buy from Omega costs a ridiculous amount of money so I can't see myself spending that for an experiment.

So sounds like the plan is to dig the spare links out of the box and swap out the left link for a full one.

Thanks!

I got around to swapping out the half-link for a full one. Much more comfortable now. Thanks for all your help. Happy New Year!
