I was able to read everyones post before the forum went down so thank you to everyone who wrote back.

I ended up going to timezone and finding a used Tag Heuer Kirium Chronometer watch. I bought it and have it already and love the watch. It was in great condition and at a great price.

I was going to post pictures but havent figured out how yet so the model # if you want to see the watch is WL5111.BA0700 its the one with the black face.

Do you know if they make some kind of "micro link" for watches. Putting 1 more link in the watch makes it to big, but right now it is just perfect, so I am worried if it gets to tight I will have to add a link and it will be to big on my wrist. There are no adjustments to be made on the clasp like some watches have.


Thanks for all your help

Where the bracelet fits into the clasp, there should be a series of holes that the spring pin fits into. They're usually spaced very close together to give you a micro adjustment.
However, getting the hang of working with the spring pin is an exercise in patience.

A small paper clip will work fine if you don't have tools. You only get about a 2.5 to 3 mm adjustment though.
 
On this particular clasp there are not a series of micro adjustments. I was also expecting it to be that way, but unfortunately it is not.
 
On the clasp linkage you have a double and a single section. When the clasp is closed the single folds over and fits inbetween the double section. On that single section there is the world TAG Heuer and a slit on one end. on the end with the slit there are two holes about 3 mm apart. That is your micro adjustment. The pin should be in one of the holes.

The slit is designed to flex and lock the clasp. This is a poor design because the steel wears down and no longer locks thus you have to rely on the safety lock to hold the clasp together.

On late model Kiriums this design was changed and it may not include the micro adjustment. You may have this new design.

I can email you a picture of mine if you like.
