First post outside of the "Introduce Yourself" thread!

Just finished resizing my 22mm Watchadoo bracelet for my Seiko SKXA35. This has got to be the best bracelet I've ever bought for a watch! Very solid and heavy.

I'm being thrify at the moment, so instead of ordering the proper pin tool or punches, I resized it using a block of wood with a hole drilled in it, a workshop clamp (the kind that tightens by pulling a hand lever), a broken 1mm drill bit, and a small hammer.

So I just finished the final adjusting, and it came out pretty good. I saved some money, as the whole outlay was only a couple of bucks. I had most of the tools lying around already.

By the way, I got this from e-Boy, and the transaction was pain-free. I won the auction for $42.50, which basically meant I got shipping for free. It took exactly seven days to get from OZ to Hawaii.

I'm loving it! Maybe I'll get some pics up soon.
