Had a #TimexWatch Ironman watch, analog cum digital, with yellow accents c 1996-something. After could not have its battery replaced at mall|department shop(s) (not the place where I had bought it), have not looked back from preferring light-rechargeable watches[0,1].

Resized bracelet of a #CitizenWatch #BN0231_52L #Orca to remove 2.5 links on one side, 1 link on other side & a pair of pin+collar. It took only ~an hour & sacrifice of the SIM-extraction bit of iFixIt set.

Latter was own mistake for forgetting that the springbar tool[0] has a thin+strong enough pin to push out the pin of the bracelet

Earlier thought had lost a collar; found it now (just under the bed) :raised Simba:

Replacing the bracelet with a rubber strap is far less fiddly. OTOH now do have a, one(1) watch on a bracelet with #TOLMIA[1] clasp in form of diver's extension[2]. That does make for a larger clasp-assembly when extended; will (just have to) do.

After wearing the watch earlier & now, bracelet feels somewhat tight & need to extend the extension however little bit; will add the half-link on the outside bracelet.

Now pi'tures ...
- _action shot_ of "Diver's extension" being extended <image>;

- glowy-glowy dial (put extra work for that ; else it would have been shades of dull greys+blues) <image>;

- varying reflections <images>.

Clasp, with "diver's extension", of brushed stainless steel bracelet shown resting on a pale forearm. The extension has been extended by 3-4, out of 7, notches.

The clasp has a flip lock with "CITIZEN" stamped on it.

A low light, high contrast color photo of a watch, on hairy & severely cut-off pale arm, showing glowing hour markers in light blue, and hour hand, minute hand, counter balance & lollipop on the second hand glowing in light green. Time is 12:10:09.

The 12 o'clock is in shape of round-y-triangle; the odd hour marker are small triangles; rest of even hour markers seem to be semi-circle.

The dial looks dark grey. "CIT" & "N" of the make are visible at 12 o'clock. Stylized up arrow and text of "Eco-Drive" & something in dark color are at 6 o'clock.

The bezel has pip glowing light green. Minutes are marked, seemingly in light grey, in Arabic numerals at 10-minute interval, besides the 60-minute. On the inside edge each minute is marked. Bezel background looks some shade of dark grey-blue. At every 5-minute interval on the bezel, stainless steel secants occupy the space.

Case & bracelet are silver/grey.

A brushed stainless steel (appears grey) wristwatch on a bracelet is on black plastic, with head tilted down, on a synthetic beige sheet.

The photo was taken to produce reflection large & strong enough to obscure the dial.

Dial seems to have some shade of blue.

The blue bezel has the pale-green pip surrounded by a red circle on the bezel is at 0:29 mark. Minutes 10-50 are listed at 10-minute interval. At 5-minute interval are stainless steel secants on the bezel as part of the bezel. Small rectangles mark the minutes from 0-20; all are in white except at 5-minute interval which are red.

Time is around 9:55:10; date is illegible.

Dial seems to have pale-green markers, for the 12 hours, surrounded by polished metal outline. 12 o’clock mark is a bulbous upside-down triangle with a triangular notch; rest of even hours are marked with semicircles; odd hours are marked with smoller triangles.

Hour hand is about twice the width of the minute hand. It is visibly pale-green with what looks like white outline. Minute hand seems to have orange-red outline & is also visibly pale-green. Both have distinct arrow shapes at the ends. The second hand is white; has a circle at the counterbalance & a smaller one near the tip, both filled with luminescent paint.

Nice! After adding a "half"-link, while the wrist is shrunken do not need to extend the diver's extension anymore.

Bad! Bracelet pulls hair when moving the watch up|down the forearm. Looks like would need to keep the hair shorter around the region (or, keep the bracelet looser than I usually care to ... which do not see happening).

Chose to trim the hair.

Really liking the bracelet WITH diver's extension clasp -- extended & retracted 1-2 notches; later in the day collapsed it completely.

The stainless steel bracelet also feels "soft" & like the feeling. For one, the underside of the links is smooth & concave; for another, it has less friction than rubber straps.
