Advice about the Easylink bracelet.

A few weeks ago i had my watch resized and put it back in its box and left it..i went to put it on the other day and it felt a little tight but when i extended the bracelet using the easylink extension it was a perfect fit..
Just wondering if i should get it resized again or always wear it with the easylink extended??
Any advice please, Does it weaken the bracelet by wearing it on the extended easylink all the time? I'm guessing it would be best to get it resized so that i can wear it without the extension and then i would have the option to use the easylink if i ever required it..

Personally, I prefer not to use the Easylink all the time, simply because it's useful to be able to pop it out when travelling/flying/in a hotter environment. I spent a bit of time using the three 'micro-adjustment' pin holes to get the fit just right without the easylink being deployed.

Just my 2p though!

Cheers, was thinking i would have to go back to the dealers and get them to play around with that..makes more sense so that if i ever need the extra room i can use the easylink

I had this same problem. Then I played around with the micro adjustment holes and got the perfect fit without the easy link being deployed. So now I extend the easy link only when needed.

If I were you, I'd try to get the perfect fit without the easy link deployed so then you can actually use it. But I don't think it weakens the bracelet to wear it all the time like that.

I love the easy link, size your Rolex with it folded in, then open it in the spring/summer, and close it for the fall/winter. Very smart system imo. cheers:

I have the easy link deployed right in the middle, so I can tighten in or loosen it as needed.

Well Bucky if your wrist is getting bigger add another link and clip in the easylink.
If you wrist has just expanded a bit due to unforseen circumstances (as they do) then it will be a good fit tomorrow - that is what the easylink is for.

When in group fitness classes at the gym, or running, or doing any activity that requires fast arm movements, I have have the easylink clicked in for a very snug fit to prevent any movement on the wrist, and after my strenuous activates, I extend the easy link for a more comfortable fit.
