Does this clasp look centered?



It looks a bit off-right doesnīt it? Have a problem centering the clasp as i would like too. I have 6 links on the 6' o'clock side (if i count the endlink thatīs attached to the clasp) and 6 on the 12 o' clock side on the picture.

If i remove a link on the 6-side the clasp is perfectly centered but the watch sits too tight so i have too open the easy link. The easy link is on the third inner hole. If i move it to the middle hole it will be even more tight when i close the easy-link.

I understand that one hole is 2mm and the easylink is 5mm.

Feels a bit too loose. Actually with 5 links on 6-side and 6 links on the 12-side the watch feels almost perfect and the clasp is centered. My only problem then is that the easylink is open.

If it feels okay on your wrist, i wouldnt worry about it. Looks fine to me.
Mine site more to the left of my wrist, yours sits more to the right.
Between us it would be perfect !!

But the clasp on the underside needs to be centred, the bit that sits flat against the skin. If the outer clasp was centred, the underside longer part of clasp wouldn't be centred. Try holding the watch by the head with bracelet dangling and clasp done up and you will see what I mean.

Yeah, no matter the setting, the inner clasp feels good. I want the outer clasp to be centered.

If you're not happy move a 6 o'clock link to the 12 o'clock side. That should do the trick.

If i do that i will have 7 links on 12-side and 4 links on 6-side. Does that matter?

It's all about the comfort at the end of the day. Not everybody has the same wrist size nor shape. Give it a try. See how it feels.

Just did and now itīs centered just like it should be. Thanks!

However the fit is not perfect as it was with SubC and Glidelock. The microadjustment on that bracelet is amazing. I could use 2mm more of tightness.

I go off of feel and not look. I don't think your watch looks funny at all. But I'm pretty anal so I know if it bothers you you'll want to fix it.

My off-centered clasp says hi.

Stand in front of a mirror and see where the clasp sits when it's right side up. Mine seems to be a little off center to either side between right side up and upside down.
