Bending end links to fit new cases

It's always exciting when a customer lets me know that one of my bracelets fits a new watch.  Sometimes the bracelet will fit the case radius perfectly and align with the spring bar holes with a nice tight fit between the end links and case.  Occasionally, though, you will need to do some light modifications to make it work.
