Bracelet length (links)

I have had a 1680 Sub for 40 years and having a small wrist I removed a few links. I want to be sure I didn't misplace any links if I plan on selling it (I have three extra), so my question: Does anybody know the original number of links or bracelet length?

The folks who regularly read/post in the Vintage section may know. Perhaps put your question there, too?

You're welcome.

My turn to have a question, you say in your 1st post that you have 3 extra links. As you can see on my pictures, only 2 "standard" links are removable. How is it possible that you have 3 ?

Links

Good question! I have them in hand and for sure I have three extra links and 9still on the watch but after 40 years I couldn't tell you any different. I do have two extra links from a previously owned two tone sub which I found while looking for my gold links. New news to me regarding only two link removal, but thanks for the insight. So is it bad or indifferent to having three links left over?

Maybe there's another 93150 reference with 3 removable links.
Rolex did that for other bracelets : 63200 vs 63600 and 72200 vs 72600 for last DJ, the only difference is the number of removable links.

How many links do you have in the 2 first parts (6h and 12h) ? on my pictures it's 4 for both, but probably on yours one is 4 and the other is 3.
