Hi,
I have been looking for watches on the internet for a good few months now and I finally plumped for a Tissot PRC200. I tried it on in a small jewellers and it felt too tight and too loose when a link was added. As a watch that moved around would drive me mad, I said to the lady in the shop that if i had to choose, I would rather wear it too tight. She said that I could take the watch away with me and see if I could get used it to it, so I paid (got 5% off RRP as well) and having worn it for a few hours I decided that it was definitely too tight. I took it back to the jewellers this morning and we tried everything to try and get a good fit, but Tissot don't do half links for this particular model, which is unbelievably frustrating because a half link would mean an ideal fit. As the watch has an extension for a wetsuit etc, there are only 2 small holes on the clasp rather than the usual 5 or 6 so that limited any non-link extension.
It's just so frustrating as I really really want this watch and the other watch that I want just as much is the Raymond Weil Freelancer, which is out of my price range. I just find it very annoying that a company like Tissot don't do half links for such a popular model. Any thoughts?
