submariner wrist size

[frank32]

heres the deal,oyster flip lock band can,t get a good fit.its either too loose or too tight,do you think the tech guys at rolex could drill a set of pin holes between the existing pin holes on the clasp,

[Andad]

IMO you need two pair of aligning holes to locate the clasp.
I'm sure it could be done easily if you only lived closer to my workshop.

The existing holes are only about 2.5mm apart. I'm surprised that one setting is too tight and one too loose.

[frank32]

thanks for the reply.i think it might be my wrist sweling up at nite,some times its ok on the small setting,would just like it to sit right and not have to move the pins.

Maybe you could install the glide lock clasp?

[frank32]

sorry mate if i was to buy a new submariner i would have to change it for the flip lock,just think its got a classier look.imho i think the new submariner is more for dress (a real nice watch yes)

Or take the watch off at night.

How does that change anything? Total diameter of watch and bracelet would still be the same.

It changes the way the watch sits on your wrist.. with my datejust super jubilee band i could not get the right fit untill i took a link off one sida and put it on the other!

Try cutting back on your salt (sodium) intake. Women aren't the only ones who retain water.

[MartyD]

Do you have more links on the 12 or 6 side? I get the best fit with more links on the 6 side. By changing it, you will change where the clasp sits on your wrist. I'm surprised that you can't get a good fit. There's a lot of room for fine adjustment there.

Do they offer a "1/2" or "1 1/2" link" an anything in between ?

Super Jubliees offer the " 1 1/4" link that can swapped out to add an extra 2 mm.
