Actually, that's a bit too loose for me, JJ. I don't like a wobbly watch on my wrist. I like it to be just a bit snug. If it gets too tight where it is, I move it slightly more toward my hand. Just me, I guess.

Somebody that proclaims that they're anal about their watches starts a thread about fingering them? They're not sheep pal

Not really loose, guys....it's just that I've got my finger pressed into my flesh and that's the impression you get.

My watches don't wobble on or around my wrist once I take out that silly finger!! And the clasp is perfectly centralised at ALL times!!

JJ,

That's exactly how I have my brand new SD sitting on my wrist.

So you're just like me...out of box and smack on the wrist, uh? No adjustments whatsoever?

Well, out of the box, on the wrist, too tight, had the jeweler move it two notches to get it to fit like your pictures. My wrist is a little big I guess. But right after the adjustment it was right on the wrist with the same fit that your pictures show, but not centered because of the adjustment obviously.

I would never have guessed that from the photos. Thanks for clarifying that, JJ.

Swapped links from one side to the other...

My Sub only fits comfortably on my wrist when it's adjusted to the max - to centralise the clasp, it now has 5 1/2 links on the 6 O'clock side, and 5 1/2 'show' on the 12 side when the clasp is closed.

Pretty weird as most of the watches I've owned over the years have had a big chunk of links left over!

On another topic, anyone else think the Diver's extension on the SEL bracelets is a bit weird? - sure, it looks better than the one on the 14060 when it's closed, but when in use (ie extended) the flat metal piece stamped 's' is still very much in evidence - and looks rubbish!

Have owned a couple of 5513's over the years, and I had to replace this on both bracelets as over the years it had been badly bent/straightened etc. Can't Rolex come up with a better, prettier solution??!!

I agree with prince. That's too loose for me. I don't want my sub cutting off circulation, but don't like movement either..
