New Rolex Oyster Bracelets

Hey all

I have 7 links @ 12 o'clock and 5 @ 6'clock on a brand new DJ II Oyster bracelet. I also "wear" the bracelet, so that my little pinky fits just under the clasp.

Unfortunately, during the course of wearing it, it has a habit of "moving" to the upper side of my wrist, as opposed to being dead centre, which it starts of at.

Is this due to the fact that, once again, I have to wear the bracelet in, or should I "rearrange" the order of the links on both the12 o'clock and 6

Also, does anybody know how many links there should be on the following bracelets, from new, as BNIB, as I swear some AD's "retain", for want of a better word, one or two, here and there: -

1. Rolex Submariner Date 116610LN - Oyster

2. Rolex Datejust II 116300 silver baton - Oyster

TIA

PS The attached picture gives a good idea of what I'm trying to express, although my wrist is a lot bigger and my strap is a lot tighter, as opposed to being loose.ImageUploadedByTapatalk1391958219.112875.jpg

It could be your wrist shape?

I wouldn't have thought so. I have other oyster bracelets that fit centred all the time.

It's just that the said bracelets are both brand new and are the latest designs.

I don't now any AD's that would keep any sizing links unless you walked away from the counter without them as many people do.

As to a Rolex rotating on the wrist, all of them do. I have dozens and not a single one will stay "centered" on the wrist while wearing, they always rotate to the outside because of the weight of the watch head.

Many thanks for the clarification, Tools! Especially the second paragraph.
