Icon5 Pictures of Submariner 116610LN Bracelet

Does any one here have any pictures or links to pictures of the New submariner 116610LN Bracelet/close ups. I had the AD size my watch yesterday. They took out 2 Links. Links are the same size, I want to put one back in, but do not know if they took them out of one side or one from each side. I have the tools to do it, but need to see pics of a stock un-sized braclet to see how manys links are on each side. I have the new Quickglide bracelet thanks any info will help

What side they came out of doesn't really matter.
What you want to try to do (aside from getting a correct & comfortable fit), is to center the buckle on the underside of your wrist!
The combination of links to either side is irrelevent...

i agree if the AD took two links out, count the links on each side, and as you are only adding one back one side has to have less links

I counted one side has 6-links the other side has four links. The AD must have taken two links out of one side. It was the Clasp side. So what you are telling me is that from the factory they have equal links on each side? The Glide lock side has 6-links on it and 2 small links that are in the glide clasp. close up picture of a un-sized braclet would be nice to see. any pics here?

Some pictures of mine:

The AD has removed two full links on the 12 o'clock side.

If you have a wrist smaller than 7", I recommend to additionally remove one full link from the 6 side and place 1/2 link from the 12 side instead.
Then you have 4 1/2 links on the 6 side, which gives you a perfect centering on the wrist.
BTW this is not shown on the pictures above; I took them before changing the 1/2 link.

Did Rolex update the bracelet again, I can't see the pix? I have not been up to date for the past 2 years - what did I miss.
