The Rolex Submariner is one of the most iconic watches in the world. It is known for its durability, accuracy, and sleek design. One of the great things about the Submariner is that it is designed to be adjustable, so you can adjust it to fit your wrist perfectly. In this article, we will discuss how to adjust a Rolex Submariner.
Step 1: Remove the Bracelet
The first step in adjusting a Rolex Submariner is to remove the bracelet. To do this, you will need a small screwdriver or a Rolex bracelet tool. You can purchase a Rolex bracelet tool from a Rolex dealer or a watchmaker.
To remove the bracelet, turn the watch over and look at the back. You will see a small hole on each link. Insert the screwdriver or bracelet tool into the hole and press down. This will release the spring bar that holds the bracelet in place. Repeat this process on the other side of the link, and the bracelet will come loose.
Step 2: Determine the Right Fit
Before adjusting the bracelet, you need to determine the right fit for your wrist. The Submariner has a diver’s extension that allows you to adjust the bracelet up to 20mm. To determine the right fit, measure the circumference of your wrist with a tape measure or a piece of string. Add 1cm to the measurement to account for the thickness of the watch.
Step 3: Adjust the Bracelet
To adjust the bracelet, you will need to remove or add links. The links are held together by pins that can be pushed out with a small screwdriver or a pin pusher. To remove a link, insert the screwdriver or pin pusher into the small hole on the side of the link and push the pin out. Repeat this process on the other side of the link.
To add a link, you will need to remove a link from the other side of the bracelet. This will give you an extra link to add to the other side. Once you have removed the link, insert the pin into the new link and push it back into place.
Step 4: Reattach the Bracelet
Once you have adjusted the bracelet to the right fit, it is time to reattach it to the watch. To do this, insert one end of the spring bar into the hole on the bracelet and push down. Repeat this process on the other side of the bracelet. Once the spring bars are in place, slide the bracelet back onto the watch and push down until it clicks into place.
Step 5: Check the Fit
After you have reattached the bracelet, check the fit to make sure it is comfortable and secure. The Submariner should fit snugly on your wrist without being too tight or too loose. If the fit is not comfortable, you may need to adjust the bracelet again.
Adjusting a Rolex Submariner is a simple process that can be done at home with a few basic tools. By following these steps, you can ensure that your Submariner fits perfectly and is comfortable to wear. Whether you are diving, working, or just enjoying your day, your Submariner will be a reliable and stylish companion for years to come.
