Getting a perfect fit on my 14060
I own a 14060 now for a month or so, and I can’t get the perfect fit,
My wrist size is about 7” i have 6links one 12oclock and 5 one 6oclock, I adjust the size with the micro adjustment, when i wear it on the last pin, it is a bit to loose and when it is on the one before that is is a bit to tight. My question now is would it help if i added an extra link ? And do the micro adjustments a bit tight or would it be the same? My explorer 124270 just gives me a better fit, |

It's always worth a try. Some of my watches have required a lot of fiddling and I have eventually got them to sit and fit just right.

Your 6 o'clock side should always be shorter than the 12 o'clock side. If you were to add another link to your 12 o'clock, I believe it may be too loose. Send us pictures of your current set up!

For a 7 inch wrist I think adding one link will be too loose. My wrist is bigger and I wear mine with 2 links off.

As it stands where does the clasps sit? Nice and central on the wrist or off to one side?
As mentioned a picture would always help. |

I too have a 7” wrist 11 links on my 14060M. Key is to adjust the diver extension in the bracelet for the two connections. As I have them, bracelet crown facing up diver extension pin is on the third link. The second reinforced link in the extension is on the seventh link hole. Fits perfectly.

Maybe you need a 1/2 link. Good luck finding your perfect fit.

How do you ad a half link?
Add a link and adjust by the micro adjustments ? |

I’ve the same problem with my 16613 (93153). I usually wear an Oyster bracelet with 6 links at 12 and 4 at 6 but the 93153 and your 93150, has 4 fixed links at 6 and a link joining the clasp (5), which puts the clasp off centre on my wrist and the watch tends to want to sit off centre.
I think I’ll flip it for a later one with a 93253, I can 6 and 4 that. |

You could aways fit a glidelock clasp from a 97200 which I and many other people have done. It takes the half link out of the 6o’clock side which makes it sit more centrally and then you also get 2mm adjustments from the glidelock for that perfect fit.

Size it after 7pm. If it’s a bit more comfy in the morning deal with it like a real gritty Rolex owner. As you swell during the day it’s a perfect fit.
Enough of this athleisureisation of timepieces!!!!! Eat some sodium for the love of Pete!!!!! |

I have also found that with 5 digit Rolex, when you need to make the clasp closure a little more solid(increase tension), you can bend the internal metal blade attached to the clasp. In doing so you may notice a slightly snugger bracelet as well
