Quite esoteric here, but ain't that half the fun?

My understanding is that original, unmolested flat-links came with four spring links on each side.

I like my clasp centered on the underside of my wrist, and to achieve that, I had to remove two links from the 6 o'clock side, while keeping the four on the 12 o'clock side.

For those of you who wear a flat-link: what combination of spring links on each side has been optimal for your wearing pleasure?

 

I believe there were 10 stretch links in the 1039, not sure whether that extends to other models. My wrist is large enough that the clasp adjustments will suffice

 

Yep, I think thats it

 

Not sure about the 7912, but the 1039 was definitely 6 and 4.

 

7912 is also 6 and 4 iirc.

 

Many thanks for the info.

 

How many fixed links are there in an original set ?

 

My 1506 is also 6 and 4.
With 8 fixed links per side. The stretch links are very tight.

 

So, typically four on the 6'oclock side, six on the twelve?

 

I believe so.

 

Is it possible to buy any Omega flat link bracelet that might fit a Constellation or smaller Seamaster for something like the price of a BOR? Or are the prices all inextricably linked to Speedmasters and SM300s?
