Rolex Rubber Strap Sizing

[22s]

Hi all - Apologies for the long winded and quite boring question...

Not getting a response from Everest for my Yachtmaster and need to order a band from them (or elsewhere) ASAP.

I'm getting slightly confused with the sizing.

From 6 o'clock down I have 5 links (see white numbering below - the "5" at the top is a continuation of 1-4 below).

From 12 o'clock up I have 4 links outside the clasp, and 2 inside to allow adjustment (see pink numbering below - the pink box shows the two links "inside" the clasp).



Using the logic from their site, which states measurements by X links down by Y links up, I would need either:

- 5 links by 4 links (excluding those inside the clasp)

or

- 5 links by 6 links (not including those inside the clasp).

So my questions are:

- Do I need 5 links by 4 links, or 5 links by 6 links?

- If I need 5 links by 4 links, they do not have a 5 links by 4 links option on the site. I'm assuming I can just switch the two pieces of band around on the 4 links by 5 links without encountering any weird differences between the two sides?

Thanks in advance!

Why dont you go for a Rubber B strap? Imho i think they are better? There are a few agents fir them in the uk. I think i ordered mine from watches.co.uk ( have a google).

Another vote for Rubber B here.
Also, get yourself a Bergeon 7825 for bracelet removal if you plan to do it yourself. Money well spent.
