Well I thought I had a screw loose, but when I counted they were all there.

So a GMT II factory bracelet is Rolex ref 78790. This bracelet has 13 links and 2 screws on the (6-o'clock) side and 3 screws on the (12-o'clock) side.

This really screwed me all up because I have been wearing my GMTs with 1 screw on the (6-o'clock) side and 4 on the (12-o'clock) side. I find it more balanced and comfortable.

Some may find this helpful, some might make light of it, but I plotted it out to be sure.

I don't think that you can relate a photograph that has been staged for the best pleasing, balanced look, to how you would wear one in practice...

Generally, you should always have either none (ideally), or only one screw-on link on the 6 o'clock side...
