I have found that moving links around (usually having more, sometimes considerably more at 12 than 6) and playing with the microadjustment or Glidelock usually results in an optimum fit for my wrist, although it might take a few attempts.

Once the clasp assembly is correctly positioned under your wrist and curves around it equally on both sides, the watch body can be moved backwards and forwards quite a bit. What might look odd before you do it up may fit nicely. I once reversed the clasp on a Breitling which turned an awkwardly wearing watch into a comfortable fit.

However, when all is said and done, if a watch doesn't fit, isn't comfortable or doesn't sit right to an extent that irritates you, it's time to be honest with yourself. I've rejected a few watches on this basis and sold a few that I thought I could live with but couldn't. It's tricky to call because some watches can be gradually tweaked to perfection and others are never going to stop getting on your nerves.
