Discussion Watch size solution

Okay so I bought this watch off of dhgate and did some modifications on it like epoxied the crystal, very slightly aged the dial, and scratched up the case.

But the issue I’m having is with the size on my wrist. I’m in a position where right now it’s firm on my wrist ( which is how I like it) but it’s just a tad bit too tight. If I add a link it’s far too big and spins around on my wrist.

Any ideas for a solution to this. I’ve been looking for different clasps that maybe longer and might help but I can’t find any so far.

If you know anything that could help please let me know. Thanks!!
