Show me your Rolex mark... no your skin.
Just start noticing my mark after wearing my dssd as a daily watch. It's more noticeable than with my other watches.

Still not sure what you mean...but if you have marks from wearing your watch then perhaps you're wearing it too tight.

Perhaps adding another link or (I don't own a DSSD) some kind of bracelet adjustment is in order? Can you adjust anything down by the clasp?

I just took out a link of my watch again last night, because my watch kept falling below my wrist bone.
Now it's a bit too snug again. I've lost count of how many times I've removed and put this link back on again :/
One link out, too tight. One link in, too loose for me :(
I don't know what else to do. I called the RSC in Dallas and they tell me that they don't make a half link of any type for my 63160 Jubilee bracelet.
I like my bracelet snug, but not too tight and I can't quite get the fit I want with this bracelet :(
Trying to decide if I should wear it tight and hope that it eventually stretches to a comfy fit, or wear it lose and have to be bothered with pushing it up my wrist.
I've always worn my watches snug and I can't stand having to constantly push my watch back up my wrist. What to do

So I just called RSC New York and asked about a half link of some type. This time I was told that they do make a 1.25 link for my 63160 jubilee
Whew... Problem may be solved

That arm is also probably longer than the other one...

I can size a bracelet where I can fit my index finger between the wrist and band, such that it will still leave a mark. This whole "it shouldn't leave a mark" ideology isn't a true way of determining whether or not a watch is too tight.

It's not so much the mark(s) on my wrist that I concern myself with as much as the marks in my wallet.:

The mark being referred to is the crown indentation left on the back of the hand (I believe). After many years of wear the mark appears like a scar.
