SubC Oyster 1/2 Link

[snu04aml]

Hi All,

Hoping some of the experts here can give me an answer before I make an adjustment to my bracelet........

It appears a 1/2 link is included with the SubC bracelet as standard? This is the last link under the clasp. (EDIT: Second to last - not the easylink locking part)

My question - I want a 1/2 link for the 6 o'clock side of the bracelet, can anyone give me a reason NOT to simply remove the 1/2 link from under the clasp and move to the 6 o'clock side??

Many thanks, Andrew.

No expert here however I did place a half link on 6 side of my Daytona but found it not very nice to look at and it didn't do anything to center the watch so I moved it back to under the clasp.

Thanks for your experience. I don't mind trying the adjustment and then reverting to the original configuration if there is no improvement, I'm really hoping for someone to confirm that it is fine to move the 1/2 link (or not).

Thanks for the input....... looking at it now I can see how it wouldn't look great! Just hoping I can look past the aesthetics if it does in fact make the watch more comfortable to wear.....

Not an expert either; I think you should be able to put the 1/2 link wherever you want.

Thanks..... I can't think of a reason either - hope we're right!

Why not just use the glidelock clasp to adjust it?

I would like to make the 6 o'clock side a little longer...... this is not adjusted using the glidelock.

Many thanks, Andrew.

This is exactly how I configure the bracelet for the SubC.
I hope it works for you.

Thanks.... looks like this is the way to go then!

I'm going to need to order some loctite and more than likely a better screwdriver...... do you think I can go to RSC London and ask them to move the 1/2 link for me, or will I get laughed out of town?!? Anybody have experience of visiting for such a trivial little thing?

Cheers, Andrew
