I love my Crawler, but the bracelet is massive. 6 3/4 inch wrist and when my wrist swells in the heat the fit is almost to my liking with all the links taken out that will come out. Without wrist swelling it's too loose and there's nothing I can do about it. The money I paid for it, I want the fit perfect. I've had to order a a bracelet from Strapcode for it. Video on YouTube from SaleenDriver talking about the massive bracelet I wished I had seen before I purchased the watch.
 
I measured my OC bracelet. It's a straight 22mm into the clasp. One of these for $27.99 would have worked to be able to use the H link mesh. Those extra micro adjust holes should give you a better fit. This style clasp are also a little slimmer and not as long in length compared to the bulkier ratchet style clasp.

I didn't have a good bracelet day yesterday. I ended up going Angus Jubilee and ratcheting clasp. Strapcode-Watch-Bands-W_SS221820B059S-1_1200x.jpgCLASP18-017B-1_1200x.jpg
 
That is a nice bracelet I hope you get a great fit with it. I've been thinking of grabbing one of these for my OC models I own. They all have 22 mm lugs. I think I would have used the clasp that comes on the bracelet you ordered. You can suffer some adjustment ability with these ratchet clasp. I know a few guys who can't get a good fit because of no micro adjustment. I'm not a fan of the extension look when it has to be used. It's one thing if you're a diver and used to open it up for a wet suit, but that unsightly gap is something I could do without myself.

If you feel like tinkering with the OEM bracelet you can trim it down like in the video.


FORMEX, OMEGA are two brands that I know that give the option to order various lengths in their bracelets.

Finally got around to sizing the mesh on my aqua/salmon over the weekend (I had been wearing on Isofrane and a OC kevlar strap that I purchased), and I do really like the mesh with the ratcheting clasp. That white lume dial and bezel is singing to me - I dig that look and I love that integrated rubber strap seems great.

I was thinking it might be worth a shot to ask OC about the bracelet. Tell them the last one was too large for your wrist. Maybe they can work something out for you. Good luck man.

Helson has been on the radar for a while now. Probably my next purchase. 👍
