GMT Jubilee sizing vs. Oyster

Have searched and found some info, but it’s a little conflicting and not definitive.

If you have a six digit GMT on oyster and also one on Jubilee, could you lmk how many links you have removed on each to size them correctly. (Or added, or kept same, etc.)

As an example, I typically need to remove two links from my oyster bracelets for a good fit on my ~7” wrist. What would that translate to on a jubilee?

I know the link size is different, and I believe the jubilee bracelets come slightly shorter than oysters from factory, so my assumption is it’s not a simple 1:1 deal.

(Yes, I’m considering a non-local purchase and asking them to size. I know I can always dial in perfectly upon receipt, but was just curious.)

Thanks all.

One link out on 6 side and possibly farthest micro adjust hole and you should be about right. I have 6.75 with one link out and closest micro hole. You might get away with just the one link out as the come in the
Middle hole for micro. Hope this helps.

I only have the BLNR on jubilee. My wrist is 7 inches. I didn't remove any links, but put the micro adjust in the shortest setting.

I don't have another GMT on oyster, but lately, with the modern oyster bracelet references, I typically take out one link.

Hope this helps.

just a follow up on this (in case anyone is interested) - as with all of my oyster bracelets, i removed two links from the 6:00 side of the jubilee as well and it's a perfect fit. micro adjustment is on center setting. so even though most people say that jubilee is shorter out of box and requires fewer link to be removed, my experience says otherwise. anyway, in case you care...
