Theoretically it should be very easy - just use a screwdriver to unscrew the screws (two screw links on each side, that's all you can size, and three micro-adjust positions). But practically, I could not unscrew them - just too tight.

The latest update is this - I asked the seller goodcheapman on ebay for suggestion on resizing, he said "use two screwdriver"
I am still wondering what this means - maybe one screwdriver from each end of the link ?

It depends on the size of your wrist. The standard shark mesh with only the micro adjustment fits my 7.5" wrist. I know someone else who bought one and used a Dremel to remove a row or two of links to get it to fit.

If you have larger wrists then the one with the removable links is longer.

You can get ones that are like a strap with multiple holes but the mesh is not as thick.

And another style with the two parts with a sliding clasp. Again the mesh is thinner.

All samples from GoodCheapMan but Precision Tools also do a selection.

Your thinking is correct, a screwdriver on each side.
That's how I did mine.

Hi ya,

I have bought the same type of mesh strap (20mm) and have my blue c61 on it.
Looks great and very comfortable.

I too got mine from goodcheapman from the bay of e and also found the links very tight. Got around it by
Using the two screwdriver method stated. Was awkward but persevere and the links will undo.
