Incoming Pepsi! BLRO
Can't stop looking at it! No AD games - wired money to Chase at Nashville Watch yesterday and received it this morning. Had it sized at a local AD.
 For those of you that have the jubilee - how does your clasp look? I got it sized and the clasp isn't in the center. They told me it's normal / is the way it should be as the clasp underside (not fully visible) is center although optically it is not.  How it sits on the wrist   Looking at the underside of the clasp is actually center |

Congrats!
 Clasp looks correct.  The blade should be centered. The clasp itself will be off a bit.

My clasp is centered on my BLRO. I would recommend removing a few links from the 12:00 end. Yours is way off.

Congrats, great watch. And yes the correct way to size a watch is to center the bottom/hidden part of the clasp. In most cases you will not have the same number of links on each side, and the visible part of the clasp won’t be perfectly centered.

Yeah just move a few links from 12 to 6 o'clock, and it'll be centered.

Wouldn't that result in the in the bottom / hidden part of the clasp to actually be off center? Quote:

Huge congrats, beautiful watch.
The clasp sits correct but it is personal taste. I would want the visible part a bit more in the centre. Perhaps try changing one link to the other side and see how that works. The slotted head of the screw pins on the jubilee get marred easily. Apply some heat to the female part when opening and use the correct size screwdriver.
