GMT BLNR intital sizing

I just want to be clear on which side you should remove your first link. I've read the 6 side, but notice there are more removable links on the 12 side. Obviously I am trying to keep the clasp centered. Thanks

Removed one from the 12 side and moved the Easylink adjustment to the middle setting.

Yeah...I'm thinking if just removing one I would go the 12 o'clock side first and play with the adjustments in the clasp. If still too big, then I would take one off the 6 o'clock side as well.

Generally there should always be more links on the 12 side. For sizing always remove a link from the 6 side first, then adjust any micro settings..

The goal is not equal links on each side or some notion of "centering" the clasp, it is comfort of the watch to your personal liking..
