Fitment makes all the difference!

[JodyHighroller]

I bought a 126300 DJ41 with the blue dial last December. It was my first Rolex and I was drawn to the sportiness of the oyster and smooth bezel. Shortly after purchasing, I started to wear other timepieces over it because of the fitment. Occasionally the 12 o'clock side would slide down towards my wrist bone resulting in a crooked watch. Some days the fitment would be spot on, while others not so much.

I purchased a Sky-D a couple months ago and it fits absolutely fantastic after the sizing. This encouraged me to revisit adjusting my DJ41. I swung by the RSC this morning, and had the micro adjustment moved in towards the middle notch. It fits as snug as my Sky-D and with no more 12 o'clock sliding on the wrist! Crazy how much a difference of 2.5mm can make. I'm back in love with this watch and plan on wearing it the rest of the week. I also had various issues with the purchasing AD incorrectly balancing the watch (too many links on one side). At one point, I considered giving it to a family member because of the issues relating to fitment, and to make room for another timepiece. Glad I held off and decided to give the adjustment another go.

For those who have difficulty with sizing, I say keep at it! It's an awesome feeling once you find your sweet spot! For example, mine for oyster is six links on the 12 o'clock side, four on the 6 o'clock, and micro adjustment set to the middle.

Not according to dictionary.com, the Oxford English Dictionary or the Cambridge English Dictionary.

Fitment is a noun, not a verb and therefore can only be used to describe a thing and not an action (such as the fitting of a watch).

Yes you’re right, I really should! I just find language so interesting, probably something to do with my job...

Glide lock and the ability to size your bracelet yourself is priceless. I am always comfortable, no matter what.

I know what you mean...those 3mm or so can make all the difference in the world.

This is why I think Rolex should make 1/2 links or 1,25 links for all bracelets they sell (like the 1/2 link supplied with the Submariner Oyster bracelet and/or the 1,25 link for the super jubilee bracelet).

Definitely make a difference.

OP, glad you got it sorted.
