Glidelock or rubber strap is what I wear on hot days or when Im working out, never use leather.

Question??? Can you tell if a Submariner has been polished? An 116610?

drjfc62 · 16 May 2013, 11:39 AM

Occasionally I'll feel the bracelet on warmer days, but overall rubber or poly straps are worse in the Southern humidity.

I don't think the NATO can withstand major swelling, the hole eventually gives way and stretches.

Pelagos design addressed this. The bracelet has an auto adjustment feature. In my opinion, the Tudor Pelagos actually looks better than the Sub-C.

NATOs are also...an average $15 USD each.

Try adding a link. If you have a simple clasp thats all you can do if you want an SS band. Unless you use a nato which i do sometimes.

This is the reason I wear my watch loose, too loose in the opinion of most others. I'm so heat sensitive that it starts off loose in the morning but when I warm up, or the weather does, it fits right. Better that than too tight in my book.

Not a problem if you have the new glidelock subs!

floater156 · 16 May 2013, 02:16 PM

I have ezlink on mine but rarely have o use it, neighbors very nice when I really need it. My old watch didn't have it and I'd have to take it off sometimes like you it was annoying.

they have a few holes, though!

I am glad I am not the only one having this issue. I am pretty sure I don't have any medical issue, just simply sensitive to heat. It doesn't happen in winter as I live in Chicago. I will try to wear it a bit loose from now on, currently at 3mm loose, during summer/warm days.

anothernewphone · 17 May 2013, 12:37 AM

My Pelagos bracelet is the greatest thing ever. Seriously, no-tool microadjust is a lifesaver in transitional weather like this in the NorthEast.

if its too hot to wear a watch, its too hot to care about the time...

The easy link on my GMTIIC works well and alieviates the tightness from swell during warmer months. I prefer metal bracelets rather than leather, rubber or nylon straps.

mcavana · 17 May 2013, 03:04 AM

Nato is the way to go. Be sure to shower with the watch on. a little soap and a rinse keeps the strap clean and fresh.
