Sizing: 14060M (93150 Bracelet/501B Endlinks) + 7" Wrist, Link/Microadjust Combos & C

Trying to work out the right combo for sizing my newly acquired 14060M to my 7" wrist (more flat in shape than round). I've seen the sizing info on minus4plus6 and it's far more in depth than what I usually do for sizing my bracelets. I'm curious what combo works best for others with the same wrist size and watch.

So far the closest two fitments are the following...

Fit #1:
12 o'clock side - endlink, four permanent links, clasp-connected link
6 o'clock side - endlink, four permanent links, clasp-connected link
Microadjust - no microadjust (first microadjust hole)

Fit #2:
12 o'clock side - endlink, four permanent links, one removeable link, clasp-connected link
6 o'clock side - endlink, four permanent links, clasp-connected link
Microadjust - third microadjust hole (two clicks in)

Fit #1 is nice and snug but maybe a touch too snug. The tuna can claps does dig into my wrist this way detracting from comfort.

Fit #2 is very comfortable but the watch is ever so slightly (and I do mean *ever* so slightly) loose and shifts a slight bit more than I'd like. The bracelet does have very, very mild stretch and if that were tightened up it may be perfect. That's very minor though. What I have a slight issue with is with the clasp on the third microadjust hole the back of the clasp lift up some as my wrist moves. I much prefer the look and feel when I don't have to use any microadjust or only have to use the second microadjust hole (one click in) so that the rear of the clasp lifts less during my normal movements.

What combination have you found to be the best fit? Did you remove permanent links to achieve it?

Also, regarding clasp position, with either of the above fits the opening of the clasp on the fliplock side sits in the middle of my wrist on the bottom side compared to the actual entirety of the clasp being centered. Is this how most everyone wears theirs or did you remove a permanent link on the 6 o'clock side to better center the entire clasp over the bottom of your wrist?
