How do you wear your Rolex?

Do you wear your watch tight or loose on your wrist...?

Exact fit during the summer, then becomes a bit loose in winter months.

The poll does not have the most sensible option - like JJ - stick a finger through it and you're fine.

Could be worse... you could be a proctologist.

i'm just in between two adjustment holes inside the clasp. as it is getting a bit colder, i noticed that they both rolled around tiny bit too much, so i put them into the winter position. when it gets warm, i will put them back, but push coming to shove, i prefer the snugger feel.

As a gynaec, Fernando, you should know better than everyone else here that the looseness or tightness does NOT ever depend on any of your fingers!!

I voted for loose, but really it's not sloppy loose. I've seen those people who wear their watches so loose that the watch flip flops from outside to inside of the wrist. Mine is nothing like that. But, I don't like to have it so tight that it doesn't move a bit. I just measured it and it has room to slide 1.8" from on the wrist to above the wrist ... how's that for a WIS.

Just be careful with that. You don't want to be like the OB in that movie Knocked Up!
