Drilling micro adjustment holes

Post by SlowLoris »

Greeting venerable forum members,

I am wondering if anyone knows of a jeweller or otherwise who is able to drill additional micro adjustment holes into a stainless steel watch bracelet clasp. I have a new one (not CW) that I can't get the fit right for. My preference would be in London or the SE although anywhere considered.

Many thanks!

Are you sure the extra holes will allow the clasp to close properly, or allow the bracelet to fit within the clasp as bracelets usually widen away from the clasp?

I've thought about this before and when I looked closely the two problems above presented themselves.

Thanks for your reply but yes, drilling more holes would not affect the workings of the bracelet.
