Thanks but may be short lived. :( Hay before I ship this back tomorrow dose anyone know if there is some secret to the screws in the bracelet? :? I could not get them out so took it down to my watch guy and he was stumped too. So if I can't size this I will just send it back. Very weird. I rarely get watches with a bracelet do to having to bother with sizing and all now I will stay away from them even more. He sized the Alba in a minute. But very annoyed! I had to wait this long to get it and can't even wear it now. :shock: |

Do you use two screwdrivers? One on each side...like they screw into each other? When i had my Conquistador,i think it was like that too. |

Exactly... using two screw drivers, and a steady hand, use one to hold the left screw head in place, while you use the other to unscrew the right screw head (or vice versa if your left handed). A watch guy shoulda had a jig made just for this; but you should be able to get it. Don't give up Skip - too nice a fish to throw back....yet... ;) watchluvr1 wrote: Do you use two screwdrivers?

Looks like a nice one. Try the dual screw drivers method if possible. Nice color and great idea having the cyclops on the underside of the crystal. |

No I only have one screw driver that size. And a bit of arthritis in the thumbs so not to steady anymore. :? I waited till today so I could take both watches in. Only go to town about once a week. This is a small town. Good watch guy he just dose not see many high end watches. He said today 2/3 of the ones he has seen are mine. LOL :D I'll have to take a closer look. Maybe I can take off the bracelet and put on a rubber strap. Not going to make a trip to Seattle for one watch job. |

A nice 'TT1-style' strap would look good on that one... like the one I have on my Seastar...  Am gonna try one on my MarcelloC Tridente too, or maybe a blue croc strap...hand6.gif |

Looks like the lug area is to complicated for me to deal with. I'll call around and see if anyone the next town over has experience with such bracelets. If so maybe I will go over Saturday. I knew I had a good reason for staying clear of watches with such bracelets and now I remember what it was. A pain to size! :( Annoys me there is no info on this in the manual or on their site. :? I love the watch but man I am pissed. waited and have to wait more. I don't do waiting well if I don't know before hand I am going to have to. Years of dealing with Veterans affairs has shot my waiting ability to almost nothing. |

Congrats on a Sweet Oceanaut Skip!cool10.gifIt is a screwed in link....very easy to size with 2 screwdrivers or the set up I have made for that style link....the Enzo uses the same screwed links...so does my Charmex,Nivrel,Marcello and quite a few others..the screwdrivers don't have to be exactly the same size as long as they both fit the screwshand6.gif Oceanaut bracelets are all hand made and awesome imho...I'll gladly size it for you if you want to ship it down from Alaska Buddy!!!!:D |

Thanks Oscar but I'll give this fella a go. ;) Even if I had 2 screw drivers it would not help. Left hand litterly dose not listen to my brain about 25% of the time. Injury in the navy screwed up the wires slightly. :D What really sucks is when I forget and go to grab coffee or a beer or something and the fingers don't tighten down all the way. The we have that oops! :shock::P I guess if all else fails I could just sit here and stare at it on the watch winder. LOL  |

Well it is definitely nice on the wrist. If I get use to these bracelets I will have to learn to do them myself and find a way around my stubborn left paw. :D Attachment: O_wrist1.gif (Downloaded 46 times) |

Beautiful Skip. Maybe you should shave the arm before any more wrist shots? :D I've been using one local jewler who has been charging me $10.00 for changing braclets. I change most myself but some of the more unique ones I take to a jewler. Found another jewler who changes braclets for me for free just so he can look at my latest purchase. Awesome! |
