Glad you asked - I'd welcome some input on this subject as I've been reading old threads to try and understand if there is a consensus.

The watch comes with 12 links - 5 at 6 o'clock and 7 at 12 o'clock. I assumed the extra link would have been added to the 6 o'clock however I actually have 5 and 8 which sounds completely imbalanced. Oddly enough though, both the watch and clasp are centred.

Curious to hear other people's thoughts and experience.

As for the AD experience, 1 extra link required (I had ordered 2 and decided to keep the 2nd - it can't hurt to have a spare), no discussion about stickers at all - all left in tact with bezel protector, warranty card swiped and provided. What I did find interesting was the salesperson asked if it was my name going onto the card which seemed odd since he sized it for me and it was undoubtedly my watch.

Pictures to follow...

If the watch head and clasp are centred you’ve nailed the bracelet set up

I always size the six o’clock side first for positioning and then the 12 o’clock side is adjusted to suit
