Breathing Room

I have never liked how tight my Rolex was on my wrist. I have thought about seeing how much an extra link would cost... untill I noticed that I could make my band a notch tighter or looser by the pin that connects the crown side band to the claspe. AHHHHHH What a world of difference that makes. Im sure most everyone knew about this, but I didn't and just thought I'd share. everyone... its hump day

Yeah...

When Larry / other told me about that / I could use a toothpick and change it myself, I felt silly.

I did "slightly" bend my Sub clasp getting the pin back in, but I can hardly see it. May ask the RSC to tap out when I get it serviced.

Comes in handy before you go vacation in Hawaii - or vist some place humid.

Some people call it the diver or wetsuit extension. I've heard it called a comfort link too. I guess that depends on the model.

I think the OP was referring to the simple micropin inside the clasp - all he did was move it one hole out for comfort.
