How Do You Wear Your Rolex Watches?

For all of you, guys, out there, how do you wear your Rolex watches, a bit loose with a bit of play or with a snug fit? If possible, could you please post a picture on how you wear your Rolex watches?
Thanks in advance.

I wear mine with a little play. Snug fit will make the bracelet press onto your skin to much which will make you wear a watch even if you don't.

Loose enough for the tip of my pinky finger to fit under the clasp.

I actually like it pretty snug so that it doesn't move down my wrist when I raise my hand. Can't stand it wiggling around. Then again, I have the Glidelock bracelet so I can always adjust as needed.

Snug but not too tight. It doesn't move around when swinging my arms. I think that they look completely ridiculous dangling loosely. Plus it wrecks the bracelet.

I think snug with a bit of room to fit my pinkie under the clasp is about right. A watch trader told me once the worse you can do is wear it loose (like a bracelet) because that accelerates the stretch on the links. He then showed me an 2007 GMT II with so much play that the first links on both sides of the case were almost coming off. The guy wore it very loose he said.

Tight enough that the watch does not move on the wrist but loose enough that when I take it off it has not left a mark on my wrist.

Snug enough with the glidelock to leave no marks and be comfortable without removing it for the entire day. No wiggle in the links at all, stretch freaks me out!

Snug but with enough play to just slip the first third of my pinky finger under it i.e. just the tip. TWSS.

Snug but comfortable. The case stays in place and I don't have to flip it into position when I go to read the time.

loose but not enough where the watch will spin around my wrist. But I occasionally make minor adjustments depending on the season (winter vs summer), a little tighter in the colder season, a little looser in the warmer season. The Tudor Pelagos makes it really easy to do these minute adjustments.

not so loose that it spins on my wrist by itself....the worst for me is when a watch is so loose it rotates around on my wrist while driving

Just a touch loose. I can put about half of the tip of my finger under the bracelet when wearing it.

Loose enough that it isn't sticking to my wrist. I like it to be able to move around a bit, but too loose and I'll go crazy. I can't get a finger between the bracelet and my wrist unless it's right at the case. My wrists are pretty small, so here are some pics for reference.

All the way to my hand:


All the way up my arm:


With a pinky in there:

For a metal bracelet, I like to be able to slip my pinky finger underneath the clasp without great effort. I find the watch is able to slip about on my wrist just enough to maintain comfort, but it won't be so loose as to allow the watch to rotate all the way around my wrist.
