Rolex SD43 126600 - # of factory links?

Does anyone know how many links/half links the Rolex SD43 126600 came with from the Rolex Factory?

This is just a guess, based on the below pictures:

https://bezelandbarrel.com/rolex-oys...ew-the-sd43-2/

6 o'clock side = 4.5 links
12 o'clock side = 4 links

This is including the divers extension.

Thank you - is your diver extension still in?

From what I am finding it is either 10.5 or 11.5 links from factory.

I believe you have to request that on the TT actually...we may want to wait for input from someone with a SS if it’s different

I got mine brand new from AD. It’s 10.5 plus diver extension. I use all the links and removed extension for my almost 8” wrist.

10.5 (excl. diver extension) is correct. 6 1/2 links at 12 o'clock and 4 + diver extension at 6 o'clock.
I wear the SD43 without the diver extension. The glidelock micro adjustment system is the best in class! So easy to get a good fit.

With or without end links in the count is where some confusion arose for me, when I went in search of this info, before delivery.

My SD43 came out of the box at AD with (counting end links): 6 @ 6 o’clock & 6.5 + Diver Ext. @ 12 o’clock.

My 7.875” wrist fits the out of box sizing, with Glidelock all the way in.
