3T, I received the Alba model I ordered from the UK tonight. I love, love the face, but was disappointed with the bracelet. Not only are they (cleverly disguised) squeeky folded links, but the clasp has no fine adjustment! And of course with only link removal as the adjustment option I can make it either too big, or too small. My question is in regards to my replacement options. The bracelet uses a 22mm curved end at the case, and necks down to 21mm at the clasp. Do I have any possibility of buying just an aftermarket 21mm clasp that offers more adjustment? If not, what are my chances that an aftermarket curved end bracelet will fit the contour of my case? I played around tonight by swapping out this Alba bracelet with the 22mm Seiko Jubilee from my 007. The curved ends of the Seiko don't really match the case of my Alba. Nothing a dremel tool can't fix, but I'm just not sure if that's a recommended solution. I'm normally a gunsmith, not a jeweller. I'd really like to keep a bracelet on this watch, I'd just like to understand my options. Thanks for any insight Here's the watch in question;  Last edited on Thu Feb 21st, 2008 07:41 pm by glock24 |

You'll have a major problem getting one to match without some dremel work...you have 2 main consideration, the arc of the case and the spacing from the lug pin to the case.
