How do you guys where your rolexes??? Fitted on the wrist or you leave a little room for it play? Not sure if I should just get it fitted, I know it's a personal preferance.

Rockrolex · 26 October 2005, 10:57 PM

I like mine tight so they don't move around. I get really bothered when the watch is loose and it slides down my wrist.

s7horton · 26 October 2005, 11:11 PM

I agree with Rockrolex. I don't want it super tight, but it can't be moving around.

padi56 · 26 October 2005, 11:45 PM

Yes agree hate a loose fitting watch.

Earl · 26 October 2005, 11:46 PM

Mine have room to slide or slip on cold days over the wrist bone and stay put on the warm days.

27 October 2005, 12:02 AM

I wear mine on a big gold chain around my neck, yo.

I'm with Earl - mine change depending on the weather, but are generally not moving around a lot. You need to keep the watch resonably snug because it will not wind very well if it's too loose.

Thanks for all your inputs...Still deciding...

dman · 27 October 2005, 02:52 AM

Tight enough not to slide around, but loose enough to fit my finger under the clasp.

Junior, we can give you all the advice in the world (and you know we will

), but you've got to wear it in a way that's comfortable for you. After all, it's going to be on your wrist all day. You should be comfortable with it.

You're absolutely right on that one...Thanks Rock!

Hey Junior,

If you can do this, then you're fine. Try slipping your index finger between the bracelet and your wrist. That is one sure fire way of ensuring that the watch will always remain comfortable on your wrist.

I tried that, JJ. It's too loose for me. I wear mine so that at most I can get the tip of my finger half way under the clasp.

Just right. If a Sub is too loose, the crown tends to cut into the back of your hand. Now I've seen guys with gold Presidends on bracelets so wide that the watch hangs almost over the back of the hand. (You know the drill: wise guys). I hate this myself.

It brings the watch down and makes the whole thing tacky and cheap.

Sorry if I offended someone but this is my opinion.

Frans.

Pete26 · 27 October 2005, 06:10 PM

I can't have it moving around, besides an SD needs to be snug.

Cheers Peter

Hammer · 27 October 2005, 09:57 PM

An AD told me if you wear it too loose, it pulls on the lugs of the watch and could cause damage.Is this true?

NO!

I'm constantly amazed at the BS dealers will spout with such authority.

Uncle-AJ · 27 October 2005, 11:34 PM

I don't like mine too tight and I don't like it too loose. In fact I like it just right with enough slack to move over the wrist bone if required.

That Southern Jessie Shane on the other hand, likes it very loose as can be seen from the picture.

Actually he's trying on mine and as you can see I have northern caveman wrists.

I'm with you Adrian. It can move around a bit, but not enough to slide over the wrist bone. When that happens (usually about now, season-wise) I adjust the pin in the clasp.
