How tight is your super jubilee bracelet?

[liuk3]

So after 6 years with my 16710 Pepsi, I finally decided to acquire a super jubilee bracelet (63600) and attached it. I do feel like it dresses up the watch a little bit. Anyway, as it does not have the Easylink or clasp microadjustments, I was wondering how tight or loose those of you with a super jubilee wear your bracelet?

I haven't had to make any adjustments yet on the bracelet. It can slide it up and down over the protruding bone on my wrist, but I am not able to rotate the watch 180 degrees around my wrist. It is a little looser than I am accustomed to wearing my other Rolex watches (which are all Oyster bracelets). Just trying to figure out whether it is worth the trouble to take a link out. It is certainly nicer if I don't have to mess with bracelet and keep all the links together. On the other hand, I have heard tight is better to prevent stretch on the jubilee bracelets. I've read maybe good to leave a little loose in case wrist expands through out day since cannot adjust bracelet, but I don't know if my bracelet is too loose.

I've attached three pics if helpful:
- Pic of watch with the super jubilee
- Pic of wrist space when hand clenched
- Pic of wrist space when fingers are spread apart

Edit: I added a fourth pic to give a better sense of the wrist space when hand is clenched in a fist.

You can buy a 1 ¼ link for a perfect fit

Way too loose for me. I like my watches tight. It's better for the bracelet to not move around constantly.

Too loose.

Thanks, everyone. I'm gonna go get a link removed and see how it feels. It actually didn't feel that bad as is, but it is definitely looser than I am accustomed to wearing my watches. Thanks!

Based on pic 4 , I change my vote to loose, lots of space between bracelet and wrist

Pic 4 is far too loose in my opinion

A little to loose for my taste if I was wearing it, but it doesn't look ridiculous if you feel that it is comfortable that way.

Way too loose.....

Remove one link and see how it feels. Pic #4 gives the impression that you can take one out and still have room for comfort when it's hot & humid out.

Thanks guys. I just took out a link, and it is snug but still comfortable. I think that I was being lazy and hoping you guys would say something like you need to leave room for wrist expansion in the hot summers. I also just wanted to keep all the links together and didn't want to futz with the bracelet and also potentially lose a link separating it. Appreciate everyone's feedback! All good now.

Looks to me that you needed more than one link out but could be fine with one.

It's snug now, but not uncomfortable. Another link taken out would definitely be too tight. I'll be able to tell after wearing it this summer whether I needed to leave more room for wrist expansion, but I'm happy with it now. Thanks.
