Buenos días! Hace unas semanas os enseñaba por Instagram el reloj de Nordgreen que me regalaron. La verdad es que tienen muchos modelos y me gustan prácticamente todos, así que me costó mucho elegir. Finalmente me decanté por este sencillo reloj plateado de eslabones, porque nunca había tenido ninguno de este estilo ya que normalmente suelo preferir las correas de piel. Si queréis uno como el mío o parecido, tenéis un 15% de descuento en todos los modelos con mi código SUGARL y una correa gratis con SUGARFS.
Good morning! A few weeks ago I showed you on Instagram this watch I got gifted by Nordgreen. They really have a lot of models I like, so choosing one was not easy. Finally I chose this simple silver watch with a link strap. I had never had a similar one, since I tend to pick leather straps. If you want one like mine you can get the same or a similar watch from Nordgreen with a 15% off thanks to my code SUGARL and get a free strap with the code SUGARFS.
It turned out the metallic strap is not uncomfortable like I had imagined and I have been wearing it often with no issues. The only thing I would point out is that straps like this one, with metallic links, are not as easy to adjust like leather straps, so you have to get the watch adjusted to your wrist size.
Ajustar la correa de un reloj es algo que normalmente hacen en la tienda o en la joyería cuando lo compras, pero hay veces que compramos online o que nos regalan un reloj y no encontramos el momento de llevarlo a ajustar. Pero ya sabéis que yo soy de hacer las cosas por mi cuenta, así que decidí ajustar la talla del reloj en mi propia casa!
Reducing or lengthening a watch strap is something you usually get done at the boutique or the jewelry when you buy it, but sometimes you can get a watch as a gift or buy it online, and making the time to take it to a professional can be difficult. You know I usually take matters into my own hands, so I decided to resize the watch strap at home!
Las correas metálicas suelen tener unos cuantos eslabones que se pueden poner o quitar, lo sabrás porque están indicados con una flecha por la parte interior. La flecha indica en qué sentido debemos sacar la barra interior que los une. Yo suelo tener herramientas para casi todo en casa, pero en esta ocasión no es recomendable utilizarlas, se necesitan herramientas especiales, y en mi caso compre este aparatillo por unos 5€ y que me llegó a casa en 24 horas.
Metallic straps usually have a few removable links, you will notice an arrow on the inside. That arrow signs the direction to pull out the small bar joining the links. I have tools at home for almost any task, but for removing the watch links you need very specific tools, and in my case I purchased this one for $5 and received it at home in less than 24 hours.
El proceso para añadir o quitar eslabones de la correa del reloj es bien sencillo con la ayuda de esta herramienta, así que os lo dejo en este video por si os resulta útil:
The process to remove and add links from the watch strap is really easy with the help of this tool, so here is a video in case you find it useful:
Qué os ha parecido? Soléis llevar reloj? Preferís las correas de piel, de silicona o de eslabones?

DeleteThat's such a lovely classic watch! It's so good you were able to shorten the strap yourself too! Being petite with tiny wrists I always have to get watches resized - I've never tried it myself though, always at a watch repair shop, so thank you for sharing how you did it yourself!
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a lovely weekend :) We had a fun day at the playground yesterday.
