Sub-c fitting & link removal

I've got a small, flat wrist, just over 6 inches, what set-up would people suggest for this watch? I've got less links on the 6 side than on the 12 but the fits not quite right, maybe some more tweaking at the AD required.

Generally you should have fewer links on the 6 side than on the 12 side.. Especially with the Sub since some links go into the clasp..

All of the new bracelets are capable of going down to 3 permanent links on the 6 side, and for your small wrist size, yours should be there as a base starting point..

then you remove one at a time from the 12 with the glide-lock fully closed until the watch is snug... make a final comfort adjustment with the glide-lock...

After wearing mine for a couple of weeks after the initial adjustment, I found that the clasp stayed fairly centered under my wrist. The adjustment that works for me was two fewer links on the 6 o'clock side than on the 12. The Glidelock clasp is great, but the watch head position will "cheat" toward the 12 0clock side of my wrist when it is loosened. A trip or two to your local AD/watchmaker after wearing in between should help you find the sweet spot.

Thanks that's good sensible advice, my original fitting at the AD did not go like you suggested. 2 things bug me about this watch, the clasp is very long, and the watch it stands up raised off your wrist, but very small minor complaints.
