Nicolas,

My wrist is just north of 6.75". Here's a quick pic to show you the fit.

Fairly similar here - two links out and extension still in, and all good so far!

So what does that make it? 5.5 at 12 and 5 at 6? Does the clasp center on your wrist? I went with 6 at 12 and 4.5 at 6 and it centers pretty close to perfect.

Yes, 5.5 at 12 and 5 at 6 . That way if I lose weight I don't have to take another full link off, plus I have a notch or 2 notches showing on my inside clasp depending how n how humid it gets.
BTWY My first Gen D Blue is one of the most comfortable watches I wear . I do not think a wider bracelet will BA as comfortable and much heavier on the new D Blue ....

Interesting. Can you post a picture of your watch off the wrist with the clasp closed. Really curious to see where the clasp ends up. I can do the same if you are curious.

Here are a few pics of mine. I have 6 links at 12 o'clock and 4.5 at 6 o'clock with roughly a 7.5" wrist. As you can see the clasp is pretty centered with the bracelet just ever so slightly shorter on the 6 o'clock side.

It is tricky sizing these watches, and any that use the glidelock system since you can all sorts of variations on how much of the bracelet you want in the clasp. Best advice I received is size it with the 6 o'clock side only, the 12 o'clock side is almost immaterial due to the glidelock.

I removed the divers extension and have 4.5 links on the 6 o'clock side and 6 links on the 12 o'clock side. Perfect for me at 7.5-7.74 inch wrist.
