The OEM bracelet is assembled using short pins and loose friction collars at the ends. This is needlessly fiddly, very difficult to reassemble properly, plus they will almost certainly work themselves apart over time anyway. I would've preferred almost anything else over this set-up. My solution is to order a new bracelet with screw-fastened links and ratchet-adjustable clasp:

I still love the watch, but didn't expect to have this many...issues with it before I even had a chance to try it on! Then again, once it's in its "fightin' trim" all will be forgiven.
Man, I'm going to crack and get me one of these Turtle's, even though I know it will be too big for me and I'll flip it in a month
Don't let the large 45mm size scare you just yet. The lugs are rather short which makes the case look fine and well proportioned on my 18.5cm wrist. That, coupled with the nicely contoured case back, make it look and feel much smaller.
