Sub half link.

Does it matter which side the half link is on? Is there a right way and wrong way or which ever way allows the watch to sit/fit best. I moved the half link to the 6:00 side to better center/balance the watch.

Put the links on so that it fits you comfortably, it doesn't matter which side that is.

My half link is on the 12 side, because that is where is sits best on my wrist...

No rules of right or wrong, only which is right for you!

You don’t need a half link on a 6 digit,

I could be wrong, but that depends on how much as well as what kind of adjustability is wanted/needed in the glidelock clasp.

Please don’t tell me what I need or don’t need on my watch. If Rolex felt the same way they wouldn’t include one with the sub...

I wear mine with the glidelock on the closest setting which allows me to adjust outward from there.

I move mine each time I get a Sub.

The second time I got a Sub I forgot to move it and the fitment was crap then I remembered!

Got the fitment down to a science.

I wear mine on the 6 o’clock side but there’s no reason you can’t wear it at 12.

I also sources a half link for the Dblue, because I found it fit better with the extra half link

Can anyone explain why an SS sub date has a half link but a TT sub does not?

Do they makes these for 93150 bracelets? I’d love a 1/2 link

No, but it will still fit on the older bracelets. Main difference is the link is solid vs hollow and the sides are polished vs brushed.

I would place the half on either side depending on which gives best fit. I wear mine on the 12 o'clock side because on the 6 digit I have no need for it but loved wearing my 16610LV with the fixed half link at 6 o'clock side.
