Those links should really help make the bracelet more comfortable when your wrist expands. I love the Easy Links on my Rolex watches and find them incredibly useful.
I hope so, that is the one thing that holds me back from wearing my BB58 when it is very hot out. The extension link will alleviate my concerns about the watch getting too tight.
One of the reasons I totally gave up on Seiko apart from the atrocious accuracy and their arrogance to regulate their movements, the 4 micro adjustments on the clasp. Not that their bracelets reflect the price you pay for their watches..... BBs and the rivets, the need to swap bracelets (ranger ) or search to find parts to get the best fitting. Went with the pelagos for the clasp functions but still had to buy a half link (titanium) from strapcode. Perhaps it is my age and less patience but past couple of years I prefer subs (post 2008) 40 or 43 (ceramic) DS. Because of the glidelock, I get the perfect fit anytime. Don't give the 58, it's perfect on you Kevin, the 36 still fits but will come moments you'll see it small. Had that with my wife.....
I agree, for the price of the watch it is frustrating that it is not available with half links and an extension link from the factory. The T-fit clasp is similar to the glidelock, but it is not as long as the glidelock.
@@WrongTimeWatch will not buy a BB because of the insert, I feel I must keep my limits, although I do find the 58 amazing. The reverse panda is an awesome watch but a bit large and although I haven't tried one, am almost certain the case will feel heavy. The jubilee style will make the head drop towards the hand but either way unless dress watch, it's oyster all the way. Omega has been providing a half link for the SM since mid 90s and early 2000 PO when launched. Although the 2500 was an erratic movement (had tons of issues) and the aluminum inserts were really poorly made (it was then that I said no more aluminum) the half link was nice to have. Keep the 58 lol.

Just ordered one for my BB Chrono.
Kind of a joke, that they're still selling watches with the old clasp, without tool-free micro adjustment.
I totally agree, especially for the price that they charge for watches these days.
