I have purchased several watches over the last couple years, but only two pre-owned - both here in the forum. First was the Ball Engineer Worltimer, and more recently the JLC Master ultra-thin, copper dial. I am relatively new to all of this and have never traded or sold a watch…so still learning the ropes.

the problem: I have a big wrist so in both cases I need a new / expanded band. Any recommendations on quality solution providers with good service?

For Ball: it took forever to get a response, but once I got through to the right people they sent links, and it was a ridiculously reasonable price. There still not here though, so fingers crossed.

For JLC, I haven’t done anything yet because I have only had it a couple days; plus it works if I use the last hole a decouple everything to get it in and off. I love the band, but I’ll eventually get one that fits properly.

Any thoughts from those that have dealt with this before would be much appreciated. My wrist is about 8” around….
