Watch Band Sizing

Here at Hill Jewelry & Watches, our goal is for you to receive your watch ready and tailored to you. The right fit will make a watch more enjoyable to wear. Because each piece is unique, sizing options can vary depending on the style, age, and construction of the band. Please consider the following information.

Precious Metal Bands

Bands made out of gold and platinum can often be adjusted by adding or removing links. When sizing down, removing links is rarely a problem. However, adding links to enlarge items can be more complex. Specifically, in vintage pieces, it is difficult to find the matching link for a watch. But do not be discouraged! We have the skills and experience to replicate links while preserving the original design and appearance of the watch.

Stainless Steel Bands

Stainless steel bands can be made smaller by removing links. In some cases, we may also be able to source matching links to extend the band. Keep in mind that links for vintage watches can be difficult to find due to their limited availability.

Leather Bands

While leather bands already offer different sizing considerations, sometimes larger or smaller bands are needed. We do not specialize in cutting or altering leather straps. However, we may be able to find a smaller or larger replacement band that complements the watch.
