No, you can't. The half link is on the 6 o'clock side. At best, you can only ADD links to that side (in case of a very large-wristed person) by removing the screw of the half link. You cannot take off any of the permanent links unless done by someone who knows what he's doing without damaging the bracelet.
On the 12 o'clock side, you can easily take off 2 links after the link with 'o'. Do not take off the 'o' link - you need that to disengage the diver extension link. If you do need to take off only one, then take off the one just above the 'o' link. JJ |

There are 4 removeable links on a Sub Date.. 2 of them are specialized.. the j-hook link, and the "dot" link.
You must retain the j-hook link in order to lock in the divers extension. The dot link is not specialized except for the dot. So, you could remove as many as 3 links, down to the j-hook and the watch will be perfectly functional. The two links that are attached to the clasp, including the half link, have screws to attach them to the bracelet halves, but they are not removeable..
