Watch roll question
I have just purchased a new wolf watch roll for my speedy and hulk (courtesy of davidSW).
My question may seem a bit silly but here it is: Will the roll stretch the watch when on? I ask this because I have very small wrists (6 inch) as it is, and the watch is on the roll very very tight (I cannot get it on unless i squeeze the roll prior to putting it on). Thank you for your knowledge in advanced :) Kind regards, Stephen. |

I would think so over time and if you use the roll a lot. This would take years of course.
With the hulk you can use the glidelock to expand the bracelet so it's not overly tight on the roll. |

My wife stores her watches on one of my rolls and her wrist is tiny so its really tight. She has not noticed any stretch on her bracelets. |

You are correct in squeezing the roll and inserting it into the watch, this is the correct way for winder cushions too. When you slip the watch on, then close the clasp; that is when you may bend the rivets and rods if forced.
