My watch covers that puny hump, but the watch is still away from the back hand.

It's just my curiousity. How do we wear the Rolex, loose or tight? Should we wear it so fit that the Rolex does not move at all? Or is it ok to have it loose little bit so it can move up & down the wrist little bit? I'm wearing mine little bit loose but it's not loose enough to rotate the watch to the other side of my wrist. Thank you. |

Mine is slightly loose so my arm can swell in heat. I cant get a finger between my watch and wrist real easy.

Mine is above the knobbly bone-too near my hand and it feels uncomfortable and too loose.

I always wear mine on my wrist. Anyone else wear their watches other than on their wrists?

The Rolex should be worn snug, but not so tight it leaves an imprint when taken off.
If worn too loose it may slip down like this one did. |

I was going to ask this question too! I've seen numerous photos with the crown pushing the skin on the back of people's hands. I prefer mine just above the bone with the bone acting as the support to keep the watch from slipping down to the wrist. I've found this the perfect position so that the crown and the band do not dig into the hand or wrist when the hand is bent back.

I think someone got my idea before I took the pick but I prefer to wear mine like this before I go jogging and sleeping

It is a wristwatch, it should be worn snug on the wrist not like a bracelet. Most bracelet wear is because of a poor fit. Ever wonder why Day Date's bracelets are so worn.

Mine is somewhat loose, normally is sits behind the knobby bone (the distal end of the Ulna ), it will slide down and hit the back of my hand every once in a while. I hate it tighter than that.

No its not just a wrist watch. Buying a Roilex is something else its not for merely telling the time of day. And you should not wear a Rolex tight like a boardroom meeting.

I wear mine away from the wrist joint to avoid getting my wrist "jammed" against the watch under normal bending. My pinkie fits easily but snugly between the bracelet and my wrist. I don't like the watch jostling around too much.

Above the bone. Isn't that bone there to prevent the watch from slipping down???
