[Citizen] [Rookie mistake first purchase] Hilariously oversized watch & first buy mistake? (alien.top)

Hello folks,

Decided to post this maybe as an illuminating example of foolishness that warrants its own post.

As a part of my style upgrade I ordered a watch online to collect, but forgot that I have baby-sized wrists and that this is indeed something that should definitely be tested physically. The staff at the store adjusted the links for me but only afterward told me that adjusting the size/links renders the 30 day open purchase null and void.

Is this hilariously oversized for me? Am I better off selling it? I'm leaning towards it. Or trying with Bambi eyes if I can exchange it to something that actually fits my 17cm (by the wrist bone) wrist.

Check if there are micro adjustments on the clasp. Also makes no sense that they removed three links and "can't adjust further"...

Exactly, I have not found this exact model on the citizen site, but pretty much every similar watch I checked on their site has at least 3 links on either side that can be removed.

Posting some pictures here upon request. Can you tell me what you see, wise one? Maybe I just need to go to another jeweler/store.
