Reversed clasp on Sub works well for small wrists

[Eric88]

Hey folks,

I am a new poster on this forum after spending a lot of time using the search feature and reading many great threads. I wanted to share one of my own that does not get too much mention around here. It seems that most people in my situation will take the daring plunge to remove one of the permanent links.

I'm the proud owner of a like new 16610LV Sub. I have small wrists at just over 6.5" and so while I could size the Sub bracelet for a snug fit, the clasp was not centered under my wrist. I did some searching and am familiar with folks having one of the permanent links removed on the 6:00 side to help center the clasp. I'm not much into doing that right now in case I don't keep this watch indefinitely.

There was some vague mention of reversing the clasp in one thread. At first, I thought this meant taking the bracelet apart and so forth. I simply took the bracelet off the watch head and remounted it facing the opposite way. This solved the centering issue beautifully with an added benefit: no longer is the flip lock end visible to my eyes. I'm not a huge fan of how it sticks out from the bracelet and now all I see is the flush opposite end of the clasp. Also, instead of seeing the small 1/2 link, I now see the full link with the bracelet flipped around.

Very satisfying and easy modification.

Eric
