Now you're asking. It just flogged me so I removed two links.
It fits like a glove now with 6 up and 5 down on my 7 2/3 wrist. The clasp is centred this way also. It's a beautiful watch isn't it? A bit "bling" but just so intoxicating.

Just saw a "stock" pic with 7 up and 5 down. The other one must have come in a bag with the bits and bobs.
There is quite a bit of gold in the spare links, a good couple of hundred since they are now solid.

The greater number of links on ANY watch will always be on the 12 o'clock side.

Sorry, that reply should have been to you. Any watch will always have more links on the 12 o'clock side.

thanks for the tip; i didnt know that, and it will surely help me as i struggle to figure out how many links to put where....
in trying to adjust the watch, i just figured out how the easy link works; i had it "out", but would rather set up the band with it "in", so i can expand it when i fly overseas and my wrist swells up a bit. the band has three holes in the clasp, and from first to the last, it looked about the same size as one link; but when i just pulled it apart, it looks about 2/3s of one link; so i just left the link out and adjusted the band into the outermost hole. guess i will try it like this for a while and see how i like it! i have learned more about rolex on this site in just the last couple days than i learned the last 20 years! thanks for all the great responses!! mark |
