Link Distribution Question

Hey Folks,

I have a question about link distribution on my BLNR. That attached picture shows my current setup.

I'm thinking about having a local AD take a link off of the lower bracelet (on the 6 o'clock side) and moving it to the top set (at the 12 o'clock side).

I'd like the case to sit a little lower on my wrist (towards me if in checking the time) but wondering if this would be too much of an adjustment. I don't currently have the tools to change myself but don't want to waste my time at an AD if the balance would be too low.

Anyone have a similar setup? The fit on my wrist (size-wise) is perfect.

Thanks.

Go for it. Should work great. It's been a common setup on the 5-digit GMT bracelets.

In most cases I think Rolex should ship their watches with the clasp offset a little closer to the six end than they do.

I currently have 6 links at 12:00 and 4 links at 6:00 and my sub fits perfectly.

I was thinking of adding one more link, and may as I would prefer the glide-lock to be further in than always on the 2nd last notch, but that's a next month problem for me.

ideally you want the clasp to sit in the middle of your wrist. I think it looks odd if you have it leaning to far to one direction.
