12:00 links & 6:00 links... 16710 help

Hi all,

I'm having a really tough time with my bracelet and it's actually uncomfortable on my wrist. I've never taken/added links but am going to give it a shot tonight.

On the 12:00 side the screws on the link are on the left

At the 6:00 side the screws on the links are on the right hand side. Is this normal? Does this then mean that links from the 12:00 side won't go on 6:00 side and vice versa?

Also, I want my clasp central - any help and advice on where to remove links from please? 20210222_195438.jpg20210222_195433.jpg

If you put the links from 1200 and 0600 side by side you will see they are the same.

What is your wrist size?

Generally you want the 0600 side to be shorter than the 1200 side. Try 1 less link on 0600 and see how it works. Also play with the adjustable divets on the clasp.

I would echo moving one of the 6 o'clock links to the 12 o'clock side. They should be the same link. It looks a little tight to begin with. If you look at the side of the clasp, you should see a pin that is a micro adjustment. You need to push both sides in and slide it down to the next hole. When you loosen the pin I recommend you do it on a towel or inside a box, so if it springs off you do not lose it. I took an image of the web below.
