Question...do you like to wear your Rolex loose or tight on your wrist?

I personally like to leave one additional link to have my watches loose allowing them to move up and down my wrist.

Fairly snug,on the left wrist.I don't like a flopping watch.

Snug

Venusfly · 13 January 2013, 03:15 AM

snug

Thatguy · 13 January 2013, 03:15 AM

Depends on what I am doing and with glidelock I can easily change it.

~JJ · 13 January 2013, 03:17 AM

On my wrist. Not a fan of the 80s flopping around 'look and feel'... just my opinion.

Snug but not tight. 2 fingers can fit beneath the clasp.

Armyguy03 · 13 January 2013, 03:51 AM

I tried "snug" and it left no room for mid day swelling, so its snugaloose, it allows slight movement, but no flop.

On my wrist....... When I can prize it of my wife's!

springer · 13 January 2013, 04:10 AM

Snug is good, and what I prefer.

jwill051 · 13 January 2013, 04:21 AM

I like "snugaloose" myself

Annan · 13 January 2013, 04:28 AM

Semi-snug......using the TRF oft repeated "enough room to slide the tip of the little finger under the clasp".

ersnyder · 13 January 2013, 04:53 AM

For me, a little loose but not onto my hand.

Alcan · 13 January 2013, 05:13 AM

I wear mine like Jocke does.

I'm pretty sure that that's JJ's wrist and hairy arm there.

Jocke did the photoshop of JJ's face on the finger.

That picture remains one of the great artifacts of JJ's time with us.

mjclark32 · 13 January 2013, 05:15 AM

Snugish

T. Ferguson · 13 January 2013, 05:41 AM

Snug enough that the watch doesn't move around but comfortable. When I go to check the time I don't want to have to perform that quick flip of the arm to get the watch head to move from the outside of my wrist to the inside so I can read it. It's a watch, not a charm bracelet.

Besides, loose bracelet = premature stretch.

ColT32 · 13 January 2013, 07:28 AM

I would prefer snug but my odd-size wrists conspire against me!!
I had a link taken out and it's too tight, had it put back in and it flops.

This sounds exactly like the situation that half-links are designed to prevent.

samuel019 · 13 January 2013, 07:54 AM

Pinky finger between band and wrist for me. Not to tight and sits perfectly center on my wrist
