BS-10 - GOOD ART HLYWD Model 10 Bracelet
-
@Chibs Congrats! Looks great, and always nice to hear about solid customer service!
My understanding with all GAH bracelets is that the measurements are supposed to be your actual wrist measurements, not the size you would like your bracelet to be. The needed additional length for appropriate droop is factored in by GAH. This is why their product pages list measurements as "wrist size" and not bracelet size. You could translate this as "choose this size if you have a 17cm wrist."

Thank you much @Graham

@Go-For-Chill My understanding as well when I asked GAH directly.

Yea, that's exactly what's going on. But not everyone who buys a Model 10 is going to want it to fit that loose. Just like not everyone wants their jeans or shirts to fit too big.
In my case (and I'm guessing some others too), it would be better to have the actual measurements and go by personal preference. Not necessarily how someone else thinks it should fit. Hey, it's my money that's being spent, no?
It's obvious by the lack of official response from Iron Heart that they don't feel this way, or perhaps their hands are tied. In any case, I won't push the matter further.
At the end of the day I'm totally distracted by the impressively good art on my wrist!
Despite it fitting "inappropriately small".

@Chibs That’s a great example of why we all prefer companies with good customer service over ones that do everything “perfectly.”
Yours does look pretty damn amazing! I’m jealous. I’ve been wanting the 4A version for a long time.
-
@Go-For-Chill thanks man!
-
@Chibs exactly this !
just let the customer decicde how they want to fit their own wrist with actual internal measurements rather than pushing "this is how the brand intended to fit" - saves a lot of time and money for both the customer and the retailer when a potential return can be prevented in the first place.
end of the day every person have their own "best fit" of not too tight, not too loose

@concretor damn! What size did you go with? A? AA? Or even bigger? Hard to tell when people have so different sizes in wrists. But it looks great!🤍
-
@mecken88
Thank you!
Size A - 16 link. Wrist is approx. 18cm, no issues with it being unexpectedly loose. Fits the same as other bracelets (+2cm from wrist size/2 fingers under band) - it just moves around more than other bracelets with the weight. -
@concretor oh cool! Looks great! Had 3A locked in before, but iv moved more and more toward the AA!
But when I see the standard A, it’s looks great too! But I think the AA is the dream for me!My wrist measurement is 18,5cm.

@Oaktavia oh this is new new for you! Congrats! Self Edge is well stocked on these right now. May just have to pull the trigger
-
@kojimastreets it's a beautiful thing man, highly recommend. What size are you looking at?
-
@Oaktavia Model 10 B is the one for me. Copped. Might as well go big!

I am looking for 4A sizing. I am with 19cm wrist but looking at the snug fit.
Should I aim for 17.5cm size in that case? May be I read somewhere in here that says about 2cm reduction if required snug fit??
-
@oblivion.sila Everyone has different preferences. The recommended fit from GAH is pretty loose in my experience.
For example my wrist is just a bit over 16mm where I normally wear a watch, but 17mm "down low and snug" as the recommended measuring on their sizing charts. So I have always gone with 17mm. This results in a loose bracelet with a lot of slack. I have a few photos for you to see the recommended GAH fit.
So you could definitely size down one size and be fine, but after that it could get a bit tricky.

I have a 2A that is on the medium snug side. My wrist is 7.25" (18.4cm) and my bracelet is 8" (20.3cm), so it is ~1.9cm larger than my wrist. It is loose enough to slide up and down my wrist but a bit more snug than the recommended.
Does anyone know the recommended wrist measurement to bracelet length ratio that GAH recommends? I read online that a bracelet 1.3 cm - 2.5cm larger than a wrist is recommenced via Google search for a curb chain bracelet.

I don't think there's a standard rule of length since the thickness of the links changes how much length is needed to fit the same. It may just be length, but it's also a circumference, so it reduces the length on your wrist by half the link thickness.
Also pretty sure I saw a post from jw where he talked about this
