This means I took a total of just one link out.
Clasp is perfectly centered and comfortable, but I'm one of those that never takes off the diving extension. This is my third Deepsea, and never had an issue and with such a top heavy watch I think it may even help offset the weight. ymmv
Actually I didnt even think about that until you mentioned it. :)

Right now its where I like it and the adjustment is about halfway. Where I want it since I adjust a lot of my watches frequently throughout the day it seems like.

Im almost thinking now I might need to put a full link in the 6 o’clock side and remove the divers extenstion.

I know right?? I know everyone has their own tastes with watch sizing but when the watch size threads come around I hated being “that guy” always saying most of the model range looked to small on me. BUT it’s true, at least for me. Idk if it’s good or bad lol. I’ve only got about 2-3 Rolex models I would wear and i already own one. Guys with smaller wrists can enjoy the whole line up.

Probably better for your wallet and in the long term enjoy the DSSD, it’s a beauty!

My favorite DSSD - the black dial is so beautifully arranged.

Congrats! I know you'll enjoy it.

Congratulations - I know what you mean about the 116660 bracelet. I ran in to a DSSD just South of Nashville a few years back and I was smitten, was a great look, but couldn't get past the bracelet.

Received my 126660 last Saturday August 4. AD had a Blue coming in, so availability had a big say in a very nice choice, because I couldn't lose either way. :-)

I had one of these in my hands today it looks surprisingly awesome in real life. Also had a TT Bluesy. The DSSD surprised me I would have thought the Bluesy would have been nicer to me but it was the DSSD that I wanted. Didn’t buy though, ND SubC is my mission right now.
