   This might even be an obvious question. I just received my beautiful watch today in the mail.  I was wondering if this watch is resizable. The links are pretty unique looking so I cant make any assumptions. Does anyone know?

Do you need it to be larger or smaller?

It shouldn't be difficult to size. If you're not feeling confident though, I'd just take it to a good jewelry store. They typically charge only a couple of bucks to size it for you, sometimes less/free if you are a customer yourself.

Good luck, that's a great looking watch!:dude:

If you have a link pin remover it sizes like any other bracelethand6.gif

When not comfortable in sizing one that is the way to go. Puts all the risk on the jeweler. ;)

To me, it is well worth the $5 to $10 charged.  I usually pay my watchmaker to do it.............that way I get a lot of free advice and knowledge, some minor free adjustments and the occasional free sizing!  Besides, that way, I don't have to spend time crawling around looking for the links pins I've dropped on the floor!:)

The jeweler near my house, on the way home from work, doesn't charge me anything to size mine - they have a charity collection box, so we throw $5 in each time...  great way to do business imho...

I did my own...with a thumb tack! It took forever but I got it down to size. Sore thumb and all.

I've been to a few jewelers who will size for free if it is not a watch they have had the chance to see for them self before. And some of the free info you can get sometimes to boot. Well worth 5 or even 15 bucks if charged. :cool:
