TAKING THE BR ACELET APART
Open the folding clasp by pressing the buttons on the side. Lay the bracelet face down on a firm
base. To avoid scratching the bracelet and base, place a cloth underneath the bracelet. Using the
special tool provided, you can now push down the fixing bolt at the desired point of separ ation and
at the same time, slide the bracelet link outwards (1). Now slide the opposing external bracelet link
away from the bracelet with the two hinged links, without pushing down its fixing bolt (2). The bracelet
is now separated (3).
DETERMINING HOW MANY LINKS TO REMOVE
Place the watch around your wrist with the folding clasp closed, and use the overlap to estimate the
number of surplus bracelet links you can now remove as described below. If you need to shorten
the bracelet by several links, we recommend removing the same number of links from each half of
the bracelet if possible, to ensure that the clasp can be worn more or less in the centre of the wrist.

Please observe the following recommendation: Generally the size of your wrist will increase during
the course of the day, depending on temperature and physical exertion. Before you remove individual
bracelet links, depending on the time of day you should have the fine-adjustment system on the clasp
closed (in the morning) or open (in the evening).
