I wanted a medium all yellow gold TF with no calendar (classic and simple) but Cartier doesn't make them anymore. I was extremely fortunate to find one in excellent condition at an online reseller - it had all of the links (and extras). It was too big for me so I had to go to Cartier and get links removed. The repair specialist, who actually works in this particular Cartier en suite, asked me how I wanted the watch to sit on my wrist; after I explained that I wanted it "not too lose, not too tight and always faced up", he told me how many links he would take off. It's been perfect since then...so in my case, neither loose nor tight but just right...
