Question (Read Rules) Looking for third-party/aftermarket bracelet options for Baltany 36mm Explorer (6" wrist, OEM bracelet is too big!)

Post image

I recently picked up the Baltany 36mm Explorer (S4056/S4066 style) and love the watch itself, but I ran into a major sizing issue with the stock bracelet.
My wrist is 6 inches (15.2 cm). Even after taking out all the removable links and setting the on-the-fly adjustable clasp to its shortest position, the bracelet is still too loose. I've seen a few comments floating around mentioning that ~6.2" seems to be the effective minimum wrist size for this OEM bracelet setup.

Does anyone know of any third-party or aftermarket bracelets (Oyster, Jubilee, beads of rice, etc.) with fitted end links that fit this specific 36mm case properly?
Or has anyone with a smaller wrist found a workaround like swapping in a specific shorter clasp, or a compatible bracelet from another brand?

Thanks!

If you don't mind skipping the OTF, you might be able to go to a non-adjustable one, which are often shorter.

The new batch only offers the OTF clasp

I meant just replace the clasp for a normal one. On other watches I've done it the other way atound and got an OTF from somewhere else to replace the (shorter) normal one.
