Good Stateside Watchmaker who can remove permanent links?
So I’ve got this Glycine Airman GL0195. It’s got a beautiful bracelet that I can’t wear as it needs like 4 of the permanent links removed. Anyone have any suggestions to a good U.S.-based watchmaker who is competent and skilled enough to remove permanent links? I have to wear it on a silicone or leather NATO to use it and really want to be able to use the oem bracelet since it’s sooo nice.

Isn't the whole point of permanent links that they can't be removed?
It seems to be a manufacturing mistake… no one has wrists this big!
Pics please, It will help in determining who to send you to.
Here’s 3, hopefully they’re good enough. Basically each ‘link’ is two pieces and I was told by my local watchmaker (only one in Alaska) that she didn’t have the capability to do it as she said Glycine uses splined pins in the permanent links.
