So, I've got a 22mm 'doo, and need it to fit a 20mm Citizen I have. What's the best way to do this? I sent a message to the ebay seller where all these originate from, to see if I could just retro-fit a 20mm endlink to keep things easy. Ideas? I've never had to cut down a bracelet before... I've thought about posting a WTT, but maybe I can just get mine to work.  Last edited on Wed Jul 2nd, 2008 03:56 pm by Topher1556 |

You have to take off the end pieces, use the Arrow directions that are on the bracelet, It shows you the direction, Push them out, you need a tool for this. Once you have the end pieces off you need to file each end equally to get you to your desired fit. Use a Fine file small or a fine grinder. Push the pins back in, watch your direction and your done. check the spring bar holes you may or may not be able to use Fat Spring Bars, the new ends you can, some of the older ones you cannot. Piece of cake cheers

did you receive the non-solid endlinks or is it just a straight bar 22mm that needs to be shaved /ground down to 20mm to fit the lugs?:?...why not just buy the 20mm

Well, I got it! Thanks for the quick walk-thru there. It looks alright. I had the 22mm here already, so I figured I'd save the $ and just mod it. I'll have to get some pics up after the weekend (prepping for a road trip). Hope you all have a good 4th!

Yeah, sorry about that lack of pics! Here's a terrible shot from a phone. I haven't had time to get a real photo. Hopefully tonight.

About a year ago I did the same thing to fit a 22mm Watchadoo to my Monster's 20mm lugs. I like the look!
