Would one more link..

So before I start watch fits pretty well and is even for most part on wrist. Would one more link added to the 12’oclock section stop the inner clasp from rubbing against the links? It also looks like it may straighten them out like they are on 6’oclock end since they’re bunching up a bit on top. Does this matter or should I leave it ?

I think it will always touch the back of the first and second link no matter how many more are beyond them.

Gotcha .. I’m thinking there wasn’t enough slack on top section that’s why they look kind of bunched up in middle.

Well...if you add another link it's not going to fit any more.

Wouldn't that be your primary concern as to whether the clasp rubs the link?

I'm sorry, am I missing something here?

Yes fit is most important .. just didn’t know if the way links were bunching up on 12’oclock side would put tension on it and cause stretch over time.
