Perfect fit and room to go either direction with glidelock!
Use Loctite 222 or 221 when you put the screws back in!
Good luck!!

I have a 7" wrist but must wear my SubC a little looser than the previous posters...2 links removed from the 12 o'clock side only, glidelock in the 2nd to tightest slot. I am picky as hell and this setting works perfectly.

I haven't had a chance to get my new SubC resized but from the looks of it, I'm gonna do the same thing as you, 2 links to be removed from the 12 o'clock side.

I had two links removed at first but with the glidelock at the smallest setting it was still just a tad loose. I took it back to my ad and he removed another link. Now it is a perfect fit with the glidelock right in the middle and the clasp centered perfect.

How do you apply the loctite?

Just a tiny bit on the threads of the screws with a tooth pick. A little goes a long way.
