I recently added the bracelet to my Ball Diver Worldtime, and just recently purchased the Doxa SUB 200T, and realized these two watches represent the two extremes of my (currently) 23 watch collection. They are the smallest and largest watches I have, respectively.

Measurements:

Ball:
45 mm diameter
15.4 mm thick
50.9 mm L2L

Doxa:
39 mm diameter
10.8 mm thick
42 mm L2L

What are your smallest and largest divers?

My wrist is 7.25", btw.

I just got a new Ball Rescue Chronograph that I may never get to where because I cannot get the screws on the bracelet links to budge at all. I've been at it for 45 minutes and all I've managed is to mangle the screw head. I understand Ball uses Loctite so I ran it under hot water, I used a hair dryer, but nothing works. I cannot get it to budge at all. Any suggestions?
