5 on the 6 o'clock side and 6 on the 12 o'clock side. Seems comfortable enough....

This is my setup, straight out of the box
Not my picture. I think it's JJ's.

5 and 7 for me. Yes, it should always have fewer links
on the 6:00 side.

Use 5 on the six o'clock side, and whatever it takes on the other. Perfect fit every time.

I currently have 5 on each side..... and when the clasp is closed... you can see it clearly shorter on the 12 o'clock side.
I am considering changing it to 4 and 6. |

wow. i was wondering this very thing. I have two 14060m and one watch has an additional link on one side, the other is even one each side. They both feel comfortable and honestly I don't notice a difference, maybe because its only one link.
