Adjustment the length of the bracelet
If you are unfamiliar with the length adjustment of your solid bracelet, please contact
Guinand directly.
Determine the relative lengths of the two sides before adjusting the length of the bracelet.
To ensure maximum comfort, both sides of the bracelet should contain the same number of
links. If this is not possible, the top bracelet strap (above the 12 on the clock) should be
longer.
It is not necessary to detach the solid bracelet from the watch or the clasp.
First and foremost: Put a soft underlay under your watch - this will prevent damage to
your watch and the rolling away of small parts.
Loosen the screws on the side of the bracelet link which is to be removed or added. For this
you need two matching slotted screwdrivers (blade minimum width 1.4 mm, maximum
blade 2 mm). It needs a screwdriver, as used by watchmakers. Precision screwdrivers should
not be used, they are usually much too large and damage the screws and the bracelet.
Attach these screwdrivers to the left and right of the screw of the tape part to be removed.
Remove the superfluous bracelet link or insert a new one.
Before screwing tight, add a small drop (no more!) of thread-locker supplied by Guinand
(Note the safety note at the end of this manual) to the thread of the bracelet screw.
Hand-tighten the screw.
Fine adjustment the length of the bracelet
The Guinand solid strap clasp has 4 holes that allow the strap length to be varied in
increments of 3 mm. If the length of the bracelet must be varied more widely, a length
change of approximately 10 mm can be made by removing or inserting bracelet link
elements.
