How do you have your links on your oyster set up?

I have a 7.5” wrist and the best fit with the clasp centered under my wrist is 6 full links on the 12 o’clock side and 4-1/2 links on the 6 o’clock side and the glide lock 3/4 of the way forward. How do you set yours up to get the best fit?

I am identical to you with about a 7.5 inch wrist (+/- 1/4" in Florida). I always have to move 1 link from the 6 to the 12 side to make the clasp centered on the back side when I initially set the bracelet up.

7.5 inch wrist = 6.5 @ 12 and 5 @ 6. Glide lock mostly in the middle.

114o6o, snug fit, 7" wrist: 4.5 links on 12 side and 4 on 6 side. Still have 2-3 notches left to the tightest position. Clasp not quite centred, but got used to it. For it to be centred, i would have to add one more on the 12 side, but then the watch would wear uncomfortable or loose, already tried it. Guess taking out the half link and adding a full one, on the 12 side, for a total of 5, would be the best way to also have the clasp well centred.

My Explorer fits kinda weird.
4 links on 6 side, 6 links on 12 but with the extention extended.
I would like to add a 1/2 link to to 6 side to see if that would make it fit better with out extention extended. The clasp seems to sit a bit closer to the 6 side.
