I just got the watch and it is awesome. I have been fiddling with the bracelet all day adding and removing links. I have a 7" wrist and like to wear my watches loose. I have only removed 1 link and have 4 links on the 6 side and 7 on the 12 side with the glidelock think almost at the tightest setting. I tried taking out another link but then the glidelock was almost at the loosest setting and I like the idea of having room to loosen it. I am curious what others have done? Also does anyone know if Rolex sells a WG half link?

Yes, there's a half-link for the Smurf:

In case you need the half-link to stay inside the GlideLock clasp, then a much more affordable Sub-C steel half-link would also work.

BTW, I find it quite outrageous that they charge that price for a gold half-link. Also, they provide a half-link for the steel Sub-C "free of charge" when you buy the watch, but not for the gold models...

Congrats and welcome, let's see some pics!
Also, be careful not to wear the watch too loose as the bracelet "stretch" may occur faster. Finger tight just above the wristbone is recommended.
