Hi All,

I received my Fortis Marinemaster (lume dial) today. I'll save the review for later when I actually have it on my wrist. For now, I can't figure out how to size the bracelet!!

I normally do all my own sizing/adjusting and have basic tools for this, but I can't figure this one out.

Th ebracelet is the type with two slotted screw heads on the side of each link and two smooth heads on the opposite side. I've removed the little slotted retaining screw, and assumed that the pin would then slide out the other side. NOPE. I even tried using my pin pushing tool to help persuade the pin to slide out, NOPE it is in there tight??

Whats up? Any hints? I'm dying to get this thing on my wrist.

NEVER MIND!!! I figured it out, so I guess I'm not the knucklehead I thought I was!!

The trick it to remove BOTH screws on each link. DUH.

Thanks.

Darn Mark,

I was going to recommend you send it to me for a couple of "years" until I figured it out for you:P

LOL! Not likely... I am quite happy with it, although not "blown away". I need to think about this one a liitle before I give an official verdict...

BTW, as I tried to remove one of the little retaining screws, it just sheared off, rendering that link useless :(
