SD bracelet question

Hi all, I noticed that the 16600 bracelet has room for adjustment only at the 12:00 side, and you can't remove any links on the 6:00 side, am I correct?

I have a thin wrist (not sure about the size) and I usually take out 2 links at the 12:00 side and 1 link at the 6:00 side in order to center the clasp. Will I be having sizing/fitting problems w/ the SD? Also the clasp is much longer than other models.

Please give your inputs and suggestions for a comfortable fit, especially SD owners with thin wrists.. Thanks in advance!

I am an SD owner with relatively thin wrists.

AFAI remember, that is correct: I don't remember taking out any links from the 6 o'clock position. I removed 2 links from the 12 o'clock (IIRC).

The SD sits SLIGHTLY loose, but definitely not floppy. When my wrist swells, it becomes a perfect fit. Time to hypertrophy those muscles!

The other alternative is to have an RSC take out a permanent link on the 6'oclock side, but this ruins the clean taper of the bracelet and the link cannot be reused.

You can always take your SD in and have one of the permanent links removed from the 6 o'clock side if you have fitting problems..
