I need to remove 1 link from my SS Daytona, which has 5 links on the 6 o'clock side and 7 links on the 12 o'clock side. Conventional wisdom would tell me to remove 1 link from the 12 o'clock side, but I seem to remember reading a post a while ago that would say differently.

Any thoughts from the Rolex experts out there?

Remove it from the 6 o'clock side and see how it rests on your wrist.

I have a 7.25" wrist and I have 1 link removed from the 6 o'clock side, and the clasp is dead on centered.

6 oclock. It's the way the human wrist is shaped.

I just had to remove a permanent link on my sub 14060M :(

Remove the link that best keeps the clasp centered. But first, check to see if an adjustment within the clasp can be done, to avoid removing a link.
