I worked for an AD for 36 years and have sized thousands of bracelets. I try to center the clasp on the backside of the wrist with the head centered on top. This usually requires more links out of the 6 o'clock side that the 12 o'clock side. The circumference of the wrist doesn't tell you much because every arm is slightly different, I always fit it to the person wearing the watch. I also try to have the adjustment in the foldover close to center of the foldover, so that it could be expanded if it's hot, or easily adjusted when it was too big. Rolex uses Loctite 222 (red) and used to use Loctite 262 or 263 (red). Both work well. Put it only on the threads. Ultimately the wearer decides if it fits perfectly, but I have found very few customers changing my adjustment.
