HELP Explorer II Bracelet Sizing Question

[SaddleSC]

I have read conflicting stories on sizing the Explorer II Oyster bracelet. I have always owned Submariners, Sea Dwellers, GMTs, etc.

On all Rolex models (new or old), I always remove one link on the 6 o'clock side (leaving 4 remaining full links, not counting the SEL). I have read that the Explorer II has 5 fixed links on the 6 o'clock side and therefore it is difficult to center the clasp for smaller (6.75") wrists.

Could someone please confirm this and/or post pics of the bracelet to give me a better idea of whether this watch will work for me? I am also not opposed to reversing the clasp if that will achieve the result I am looking for.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.
