    About the end bit: That was at a Sinclair gas station. They all have those big dinosaurs in the parking lot. I couldn't resist. People were looking at me funny. I looked back at them even funnier.

      i know im very late but i have a 5.8 inch wrist because im only 14 i was wondering if the typical seiko 5 could fit me

    The first thing that happened was the spring bar launching into oblivion... Now I gotta find it! LOL!!

  • @thezapsback
    @thezapsback 7 ปีที่แล้ว +47

    Just a little advice from my experience: in order to make it more comfortable for your wrist, it's better to size the bracelet asymmetrically. if you shorten downside of the bracelet more than upper side, the clasp will fit much better. if you want to remove total 4 links, better to pick 3 down-1 up than 2-2. Take care! :)

    • @minitwatch
      @minitwatch  7 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      Doing it the way you've described is exactly how I don't like it :p That is how it is most uncomfortable to me! lol. Everyone's different! I like my clasp right in the middle of the bottom of my wrist.

    The spring hit me right in the face and immediately it happened in the video! Thanks for the tutorial!

    You're a legend, I've been losing weight for months and my watch being loose has been annoying the hell out of me, and I kept forgetting to get it adjusted. Then one day I randomly looked this video up while walking past the computer, found something on the desk and fixed my watch. Literally life changing.

    Thank you! I managed to do this with a pin from a clothing tag for the springs and a metal mechanical pencil tip for the link pins!

    just received my new Seiko snd495pc(red faced chronograph) to add to my collection. Needed to adjust the bracelet and
    didn't want to force anything. This set-up was new to me. So here I am :) I love the simplicity, now that I know the simplicity!
    thanks!

    Edit : Nvm figured it out, I wasn't putting the L bracket between the hook part of the link, which is where it holds it together, it works now :)
