But those aren&#8217;t very attractive, and often they&#8217;ll pinch your skin and pull your hairs. <strong>Not cool!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><h2>So what can you do?<\/h2>\n<p>\n<strong>Order in Watch Links for Free!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\nMany Watch Brands (especially <strong>Name Brand Companies<\/strong> like <strong>Seiko <\/strong>and <strong>Pulsar<\/strong>) will allow you to order in extra links for your Watch for free. All it takes <strong>is a phone call<\/strong> (See <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jewelry-secrets.com\/Blog\/watch-company-repair-centers\/\">Watch Repair Centers!<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>\nUsually it&#8217;s only a couple of links (<strong>up to four<\/strong> &#8211; past that it&#8217;s a <strong>charge<\/strong>), but if you only need a couple of extra links to make your Watch fit your wrist, then <strong>it&#8217;s well worth the call<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\nMost Jewelry Stores will call the manufacturer for you. They can call, give the rep <strong>the model number of the Watch<\/strong> and have the links sent directly to the store. This generally takes about <strong>a week or two<\/strong>, and then they can add those links into your Watch (which is also normally <strong>at no charge<\/strong>) and you&#8217;re done. You buy the Watch, they&#8217;ll make it fit! <\/p>\n<p><h2>Easy As That!<\/h2>\n<p>\nYou could probably <strong>call the watch repair centers yourself<\/strong> and inquire if you can get extra links or not. Call the phone number listed in your <strong>Watch Instruction Booklet<\/strong> or Manual, or head on over to my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jewelry-secrets.com\/Blog\/watch-company-repair-centers\/\">Watch Repair Center Post<\/a> and find the number yourself.<\/p>\n<p>\nAsk them <strong>to get a few links<\/strong> so you can wear their Watch. They can probably mail them to your home address. Granted, you may have to <strong>Register your Watch<\/strong>, and you may even have to<strong> pay for shipping???<\/strong> But usually this is covered and a service they&#8217;ll provide their customers.<\/p>\n<p>\nIt&#8217;s an easy way to get any Watch you like to fit, and <strong>not cut off your circulation<\/strong>. :)<\/p>\n<p><h2>Not all Watch Manufacturers will do Free Links!<\/h2>\n<p>\nSome do charge, and <strong>some are NOT cheap!<\/strong> I know <strong>Movado <\/strong>at one time was charging <strong>$75 per link<\/strong> (but it was a $700 Watch)! So it all depends on the actual Watch, Brand, and what the Metal is.<\/p>\n<p>\nPlus, if the Watch is <strong>discontinued<\/strong>, you&#8217;re probably <strong>out of luck<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><h2>One Call Will Answer It All!<\/h2>\n<p>\n<strong>P.S. <\/strong>You can add the links into your Watch yourself if you have the right tools. Check out my Watch Tools Post to see what I mean&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\nAlso note that it&#8217;s wise to <strong>hang onto your links<\/strong> if you have any removed. <\/p>\n<p><h2>Don&#8217;t Leave These At The Jeweler!<\/h2>\n<p>\nYou&#8217;ll want those links incase <strong>you eat too much Pasta<\/strong>, or if you ever Trade In, Sell, or Break your Watch.<\/p>\n<p><h2>Keep Them!<\/h2>\n<p>\n<strong>You&#8217;ll Probably Need Them! :)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Here&#8217;s something that very few people know about.
