Please observe the following recommendation: Generally
the size of your wrist will increase during the course of the day,
depending on temperature and physical exertion. Before you
remove individual bracelet links, depending on the time of day you
should have the fine adjustment system on the clasp closed (in the
morning) or open (in the evening).

Repeat steps 1 to 3 at the distance from the first point of separ­
ation you have just determined.
Remove the unnecessary links and reassemble the shortened
bracelet. When reassembling the central link, make sure that the
outside is still facing downwards.
Reinsert the external link with both the hinged links, which was
removed at the beginning, back into the bracelet (4). Now you can
slide the opposing external bracelet link back into the bracelet until
it lies flush, by simultaneously pressing down its fixing bolt (5).
To finish, check that the fixing bolts are sitting correctly (6). These
must be brought up flush with the upper edge of the external
links.
Keep the surplus links and separating tool in a safe place for use
in any adjustment at another time.
