i have the same watch with 6 1/4 inch wrists....my clasp looks similar to yours...only way to stop the watch head from rolling over to the 12 side....I have tried all possible combos and mine works best when the clasp is slightly off centered

Just thinking how happy I am still with my BLRO at 4 1/2 months. I've got a bunch of other watches but this one's gotten 90% of the wrist time. Note how my clasp is slightly off center.
PS: phone camera photos do not show the color tones of the bezel that my eyes see, they are much more vibrant in person. |

Incoming Pepsi! BLRO
Here's the current orientation. Will continue to test drive it and if unsatisfactory may drop by the AD again and have them try moving one or two links to the 6 side. |

Around ~6.8. I have two Oyster links removed from my BLNR and Daytona. Easy-link is set on the middle hole for both watches and "tucked in" for the snuggest fit. Can't remember off the top of my head how jubilee many links I have removed on my DJ. All my clasps look pretty center on the underside of my wrist though.

Yes. That's correct. Mine is always set to "in". What I was referring to in my last message are the three sets of dots inside the clasp where the easy link bracelet attaches to. With tools you can change which set of dots the bracelet attaches to. Mine is currently set to the middle dot.

OP, your AD is correct. the links are supposed to be moved from 6 oclock. As long as the head is center you're fine. Comfortability is way more important than if the clasp is centered.
It's only an issue for people who have OCD that need to be checked out. |

Uncommon but I noticed the Rolex crown is aligned and facing up when the crown is screwed down. |

Mine fits same way as yours. It is correct and dont worry about the visible part of the clasp.

Congrats, I too saw he had that watch and contemplated buying it. I'll make a deal soon enough I'm sure.

Got mine from AD at MSRP. It comes perfectly sized for 7.5 wrist with EasyLink let out (biggest).
What do people with larger than 7.5 wrists do when they buy this watch? Buy extra links? Are those even available for jubilee? Just bought this earlier this month in SDGO. Does this bezel look like darker Mk2? Top photo (looks more like Mk1 color) is taken in sunlight, but bottom pic (same watch, which looks like Mk2) taken by AD. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Yeah I think they have to buy additional links. Congrats on getting it from your AD! I think the bezel looks like a MK2 if there is such a thing of different colors. I think it really depends on the lighting. As you could see in the original pics - it looks dark Navy (which is typically how it looks). But in certain angles in bright sunlight it can look different. |
