Newbie Question: Proper Bracelet Fit

[ROLEX4FD]

I've had my TT Sub now for 6 months and am VERY happy with it. The bracelet as it comes stock from the AD and adjusted to it's largest size was a bit too snug for my liking when warm, but "okay" when cool/cold. I wasn't happy with the overall comfort as I prefer to wear my watches a bit looser (from my Omega Seamaster days) and as such, I purchased and had installed an extra link on the 6 o'clock side. The clasp now sits on the middle of my wrist, and the micro-adjustment pin is on the second hole from the smallest. The net result is a very comfortable, albeit loose, fit when cool/cold and still comfortably loose when warmer. The watch does slide back and forth on the wrist (but cannot roll over) and it does slide freely up and down my wrist when I raise and lower my arm - more so when cooler, but still a bit when warmer.

All of this to ask (and I do appreciate your patience) if 1) wearing the bracelet looser will cause premature wear of the hollow links and 2) if worn a big snugger, would the "pressure" of the wrist pressing against the bracelet cause more or less wear and/or stretching (i.e., more of a problem)?

Any insights or advice you can provide would be greatly appreciated. I keep adjusting it back and forth and it's close to driving me crazy.

Thank you for your time and advice.
