Link Removal

[J. Alan]

I need some help removing a link from a Rolex I just bought from Oscar Bodybump. It's a 116000, the least expensive Rolex you can buy, except for the Airking. I am going to use it as a daily beater. Oscar sends a "sizing tool" with all his purchases, but I have never had to use it before. As the bracelet does not have the new glidelock on it, I believe a one link removal will do the trick to fit my wrist better. I notice that the first 4 links off the clasp side and the first two links of the folding side have small screws that I presume are for removal of the links. It appears to me the clasp would centre better on the bottom of my wrist if I removed one of the four from the clasp side?? Your recommendations, please.

FYI, I did a quick search and came up with Tools excellent step by step bracelet removal, but I admit I didn't spend to much time searching for a thread for a bracelet link removal. If there is a link (photos preferred) I would certainly appreciate if one of you better informed could provide a link. If not, I would greatly appreciate your experiences or suggestions regarding link removal.

To all my fellow American TRFers and neighbors, I wish you a Happy November 24th Thanksgiving.
