Submariner Bracelet

In order to center the watch face and clasp on my wrist I want to remove the 1/2 link on the 6 o'clock side and put it on the 12 o'clock side.

My question is, is the pin that attaches the 1/2 link to the clasp removeable or is it permanently affixed?

Try switching a whole link around.

It's removable. The 1/2 link can be switched from one side to the other, or removed entirely.

If it's a Sub-C, yes. I removed the half link on the 12 o'clock side and transferred it to the 6 side.

This is true. My half-link is removed. Please note that it's a bit more difficult to remove the screw attaching it to the clasp because the hole for that screw is closed at the end, and it may take a bit more heat to soften the Loc-tite and a bit more force to unscrew it. Use of a proper screwdriver is even more important than usual for this particular screw because of the extra force required to loosen it.
