I got three Modena's in the last week.  I don't like this one;
it has a lightweight clasp and you have to cut the band.  I don't
know if the clasp would hold up if this was your every day watch.
You can use scissors but an X-Acto Knife would do a better job.
I have a 7 3/4 inch wrist and cutting off 2 links on each side works
for me and its in the tightest hole on the micro side.  If I had to
do it again, I would get a Modena with a buckle.  In the one photo the
clasp looks gold plated; its not, it is stainless.
