Question about Sub C fit.

Hey guys I was just curious if anyone out there had the same link configuration as me. I have read numerous threads on these boards about the importance of making sure the clasp is centered on the bottom of your wrist. I found a link configuration that centered the clasp on my wrist and it was comfortable enough, but I decided to tinker around some with different setups and I found one that is very comfortable, the only issue (not really an issue) is that the clasp is now too far to the 12 o'clock position.

I know first and foremost you want comfort and you want the watch itself centered on the top of your wrist. I was just curious if anyone out there has the same setup as me (7.25'' wrist 5 1/2 links @ 12 o'clock and 5 links @ 6 o'clock.) where the clasp on your Sub C is a little off center one way or the other? I have tried many configurations where the clasp is dead center on the underside of my wrist (6 1/2 @ 12 o'clock 4 @ 6 o'clock , 6 @ 12 o'clock 4 @ 6 o'clock etc) and it is comfortable enough, but something about this setup just feels at home.

I know it's a silly post but I was just curious if I'm alone in this. Thanks in advance and I hope everyone has a great weekend!


TLDR: Found a very comfortable fit with my Sub C where the clasp is off center and more towards the 12 o'clock side. Anyone else with a Sub C find a perfect fit where your clasp is too far off center? (I know , I know the OCD haters are going to post and the "just wear it and enjoy it!" posts are coming, but I was just more curious than anything seeing how many threads I read where your clasp being centered is top priority.)

I remove two links from the 6 o'clock side for the right fit for my wrist.

Nice! Yeah I CAN get the clasp centered however it's more comfortable with the clasp off centered. I was just curious if anyone else is the same. I only asked because out of all the threads I've read it seems everyone prefers their fit (comfort wise) with their clasps centered.

Sure I would prefer it if my clasp were centered but it's more comfortable this way, I guess my wrist is just shaped weird. Glide lock is half way with this setup.

Thanks for the response I appreciate it.

My Sub C fits perfect but my clasp is like yours too where the clasp is a little more to the 12' side rather than the clasp be perfectly centered in the middle of the wrist.

Hey, if it's comfortable to you and feels 'at home,' then that's all that counts. Enjoy the watch.

Yeah no doubt, I was just curious if I was alone in this because it is a bit strange to have the clasp off center like that lol. I was more curious than anything.

I hope you guys enjoy your Sunday

It's gotta feel comfortable for you. Not everyone's wrists are formed exactly the same.

If you hold the watch head, the clasp should sit level. This is ideally what you want the link setup to look like. Or as close as possible. Sorry for the sideways pic.

I've tried many times to center the clasp on my watches, and every single time the watch ends up not centered unless I have it so tight it's uncomfortable. My Subc has 4 links on the 6 o'clock side, 6 links on the 12 o'clock side. Watch sits comfortably centered. Clasp is slightly off center obviously, but I couldn't care less. Every single one of my bracelets ends up like this. Works for me. Plenty of different wrist shapes out there I would imagine, no single ideal is going to work for all.

Yep absolutely. That's how I had my sub set up originally with 4 @ 6 and 6 1/2 @ 12 and it was comfortable, but when I went to 5 @ 6 and 5 1/2 @ 12 it just feels more comfortable. I know it's about what is comfortable to you and that's what is important I was just curious if anyone else out there had a similar setup (with almost even links on each side, because it's not common reading these boards.) Appreciate the response
