7.5 inch wrist, do I need to take out links in the 116610 sub c?

Hey everyone, After some online research I decided to order myself a 116610LN, the stainless steel ceramic sub, but haven't had a chance to try it on. So that's why I'm asking for help here. Do you guys think I will need to take out any links out of the bracelet if I have a 7.5-7.7 inch wrist, or will I be able to wear it directly out of the box?
Thanks!

Should be fine out of the box.

I you want the clasp adjustment centered you may need to remove a link.

Probably depends on how you like the fit. Some wear it tighter than others, that's why they have removable links.

At 7.5" you may even want to add a link if you like a looser fit.

It is just going to depend on how you want to wear the watch. I prefer the 6 o'clock side to be shorter than the 12 o'clock side as on my wrist if they are equal my watch will slightly slide to the 12 o'clock side. The Glide Lock bracelet is amazing and you will figure it out. If you need any modification I would find a decent watch maker that can remove links. I would call the local AD and inquire. I would not want the average sales person doing the link removal and I would inspect the watch upon return for damage to the screws and links. Congratulations on a great watch. Post some picture when you get it.

I have a 7.5" wrist and a ceramic sub.
I had to have a link taken out for sure. I got it adjusted so that the glidelock was half way. I can then tighten or loosen depending.
I assume unless you want it hanging like a wizards sleeve you will be the same

But wouldn't taking a link out make the bracelet un-symetrical? And would you have been able to wear the watch without taking the link out but with the glidelock fully closed?

IMO. You will have to remove a link or two depending on the shape of your wrist.

I have an 8" wrist, and they come perfectly sized, so you'll probably want to remove a link, or just tighten up the glide lock, and let some out when you want.

Is your glidelock fully tightened/closed when you wear the watch with all the links?

I have an 8" wrist and I purchased a SubC yesterday. I asked for a link to be removed bc I didn't like the fit out of the box. I had a link removed and moved the glide lock up a tick or two so I have room for adjustment as seasons change.

I prefer a fit that is fairly snug on my wrist. Not tight, but I don't like for my piece to slide around on my wrist.

Hey, would you have a picture of the SubC on your wrist? I cant find pictures of the sub C on such a big wrist anywhere. So a pic from the top and the botton?
Thanks!
