Sizing a SS BLRO - advice please

Looking for advice on sizing a Stainless Steel BLRO on the Jubliee bracelet.

My wrist is about 7' and flat. With all links in, the extension clasp folded in, and the end point at the middle position the watch fits just a tad too loose.

For a fit strategy, is it best to simply move the end point to the tightest position? That would leave the ability to open the extension if needed.

Or is it best to remove a half link? I'm assuming one click on the end point clasp and a half link are about the same...

its different for sure. For me im one link out of a jubilee and 1 link out of an oyster bracelet GMT and they fit the exact same and the oyster link is bigger.

the bracelet pin is in the middle position, ez link in. My wrist is bigger than yours but i wear my watches fairly tight.

I realize you’ve probably got this sorted OP

I’m exactly the same

Try removing one link from 6 o’clock and position the micro adjustment in the middle position. As Tyler said, easy link should be closed and fit is perfect.

Odd that bringing this old thread up now is relevant to me too. I've had my BLRO since December 15 with two links removed and the micro adjustment on the clasp in the middle position. It's been fine until the last few weeks when it started feeling just a tad too tight at times but not tight enough to warrant opening the easy link. I blame it on the summer humidity starting to creep into my city again.
Anyway I dropped my the dealer last night and had them move the micro to the bigger position. It adds just a few millimeters but it subjectively is more comfortable.
