Have several Couturas and they are very nice watches but they have a problem, at least with me, if I size them right, they get too tight part of the day and if I size them loose, they are too loose. Anyone of the fellow members have any possible remedy for this?

Am not at home and have a very bad camera. This is a picture of a watch I own that was taken by Dan Braun... The watch is sleek, solid and low on the wrist but the bracelet is a headache for me. The rubber, plastic or leather one would have a cleft where the band meets the watch.

I don't know how the clasp of this watch is made but it should be possible to micro-adjust on the clasp.
The thing is: How much your wrist grow with the heat of the day? This is all about you metabolism ,weight and temperatures you are submited to.
Not the watch itself...
I, personnaly, never had any problem of this kind with any of my watches: Specialy with the bracelets as they are more easy to adjust than the leather straps...

The only adjustments are two short links that are half the length of the regular links. This makes it somewhat difficult to micro adjust mecause if you add the other half link, it it too loose, if you take a way a whole likk it is tight...beautiful watches but I think Seiko tried to nake them too fancy. They are nice but the bracelet is a lingering problem...looking at the bright side of things, it does give some of my other watches more mileage... The half link can be seen on the underside of the bracelet close to the 6, it is a shorter link.

Yes I see the shorter link. Now I understand: If the only adjustment possible is on the half link, it may be problematic...
I have my Seiko Premier on the wrist tonight: There's 3 holes on the clasp for micro-adjustment there...
