I have never considered the issue of centeredness with regard to any watch.

You've been very lucky then my friend. Centered is comfort IMHO.

I moved one link one time from one side to the other and....like a different watch so comfortable and centered....

Yes take one out move it over or leave it off and use micro adjustments on the clasp. See if that helps.
It should be comfortable and not be leaning and driving you crazy.

They all move to the 12 oclock side due to the weight of the watch and gravity..

You already have all the links off the 6 side that you can take off.... there is no half-link to move...

Your bracelet does not look centered to me but as Larry has said there are no more links to take out on the 6 o clock side so the only thing you can do is remove a permanent link.

The last link at 6 o clock in your pix is pinned to the clasp at the fliplock tab.

No, it isn't.. That link is permanently attached to the clasp, the screw-bar is there so you can attach them together.. It cannot be removed..

On that side, yes.. Cutting out a permanent link is fairly common.. So common, in fact, that the new bracelets all have an extra link that can be removed...

Well, actually, I wear my watch somewhat loose so that it's never really centered, anyway.

My wrists swell and shrink throughout the day, so I'm covered regardless.

To me, that's comfort.

To each his own, as they say.

My watchmaker told me that those bracelets were introduced for women who were migrating to larger watches like the DJ, so as to accommodate their smaller wrists.

I asked because I noticed two reference numbers for the DJ's Oyster bracelet.

Of course, they could all be that way now.

You could also try 'flipping' the bracelet. It worked for me.
Search the forums for pictures and a far better explanation than I can do.

Yeah but that would drive me crazy...not being able to open the clasp "normal way"...

I can't imagine moving a link to the other side and then using the micro adjusts in bracelet wouldn't work...unless I am not understanding his problem....
