Ehhh, all I remember is no few than 5 links on the 6 o clock side. I dunno my bracelets have always just... fit me.

Paging JJ, paging JJ.

It's probably 1 am in Auckland, give the poor man a break!

Yes, I know, just a little joke. JJ can speak at length about bracelet links. He'll be along once he's had his morning coffee.

Hummer · 25 December 2009, 02:12 PM

If I remember correctly, he said 8 links on the 12 o'clock side and 5 links on the 6 o'clock side.

1. Removing links: always remove 1st link from the short side first, 2nd from the long side, 3rd from the short side etc...

2. Adding links: 1st and 2nd to the long side, 3rd to the short side

That way your clasp will always be at the center of your wrist.

Merry Xmas and happy New Year to all !

JJ is into Jubilee this month, so the link numbers may vary.

On mine I have five at 6 o'clock and seven at 12 o'clock which includes the easy link.

starting with the 6 o'clock side, remove that first link. If it's still too large, remove the link from the 12 o'clock ( not the easy link ).

Hi David,

Here ya go.....the pic below is of the 16613, but it's the EXACT same linkage configuration as the 16610.....this is exactly as the NEW watch should come out of the box.

You will notice 9 links + 1 flat link marked "S" on the 12 o'clock side.

4½ links on the 6 o'clock side.

And when folded inside, the watch should look like this....

Removing links: always remove 1st link from the short side first, 2nd from the long side, 3rd from the short side etc... 2. Adding links: 1st and 2nd to the long side, 3rd to the short side That way your clasp will always be at the center of your wrist. Merry Xmas and happy New Year to all !
