The short version: measure your wrist in centimetres where you wear the watch and put the number in the Wrist size field at checkout. A three-link Oyster and a five-link Jubilee take roughly one extra link per centimetre above a 16 cm wrist, an integrated Royal Oak bracelet takes the same treatment, Omega bracelets use pin-and-collar links, and an Oysterflex takes none - it is chosen by the letters on its two sections. Sizing is free and part of the order.

How to measure
Wrap a soft tape around the wrist where you actually wear the watch - not the narrowest part of the arm - flat against the skin and comfortably snug. Read it in centimetres, and do not add an allowance: we add it. If you are between two numbers, give both; the clasp and case form part of the circumference, so the count is set with the watch in hand.
What happens after that
We fit the bracelet, photograph it on the bench with your QC set, and tell you the count or the section pair we used. You can still say no before it ships. Links removed for your wrist travel with the watch, so a local watch shop can put one back if the fit changes.
What it costs
Nothing. Sizing is part of the order. If your wrist needs more links than the bracelet carries, we quote that before dispatch - nothing is added after you have paid.
What buyers ask about sizing
Short answers, no filler.
Can you fit the bracelet to my wrist?
Yes. Put your wrist measurement in centimetres in the Wrist size field at checkout, or tell us in the order thread. We size the bracelet before dispatch and tell you the count we used before the parcel is sealed.
How do I measure my wrist?
Wrap a soft tape around the wrist where you wear the watch, flat against the skin and comfortably snug, and read the number in centimetres. Do not add an allowance - we do that. Two readings at room temperature are better than one.
What if it is still too tight or too loose?
On a steel bracelet the links we removed travel with the watch, so a local watch shop can add one back in a minute. On an Oysterflex nothing is cut or stretched: the fix is a different section pair, which is why we ask for the measurement before the watch is built.
Does sizing cost extra?
No. Sizing is part of the order. If your wrist needs more links than the bracelet carries, we quote that before dispatch - nothing is added after you have paid.
Which bracelet type is on my reference?
The listing states it: Oyster or Jubilee on most Rolex references, Oysterflex on the Yacht-Master 42 and some Daytonas, an integrated bracelet on the Royal Oak, and a leather or rubber strap on Panerai and most Omegas. If it is unclear, ask and we will confirm the exact bracelet before you order.
