What a difference proper bracelet sizing makes!

I'm new to this forum, bought my subc 4yrs ago and recently purchased the blue yacht master. I've seen some members talking about the importance of proper bracelet sizing, I thought as long as the diameter was the same as your wrist all was good. I bought a few tools and moved a link from the 6 o'clock side to the 12 o'clock side. So easy and what a difference it made. My watches now sit in the center of my wrist vs the outside. Thanks for all the great info on this forum!!

Nothing like a well fitted bracelet to facilitate the Rolex love.

Great watch and great picture. Does the yacht master have the glide lock adjustment clasp like the new submainers?

The yacht master does not have the glide lock like the sub. The yacht master has the easy link extension, which is just one adjustment.

It's amazing how many people never realize ('z' as in size) this. I don't know why YM's get a bad rap - that looks awesome.
