Is There a Proper Way to Remove Bracelet Links?

Hello guys,

I had two links removed from my Daytona's bracelet, and the guy removed both of them from the 6 o clock side of the bracelet. The claps sits fine in the centre, I have no issue with that. But the bracelet is obviously a lot shorter from one side.. I wanted to know if this is this the right way of removing links or should he have removed one from each side?

So they're supposed to be removed from that side of the bracelet?

Isn't this all that matters?

If it fits and is centered, is was done correctly.

Different configurations of 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock link removal work for different shapes of wrist.

Congratulations on finding the right one for you!

It won't be even when the slaps is open. The 12 side of the clasp is twice as long as the 6...because of the wa it folds closed.

Who cares what it looks like when it's open laying on a table? It's centered when wearing...you can't have it both ways.

There should be LESS links on the 6 o'clock side than on the 12 o'clock side.
