congrats me! :) & question on automatic movement watch
Finally got DJ TT looks like this (16233 w/ 3135);
One thing I notice is how noisy it can get when I move around my wrist due to the internal movement, (should also mention that this is my first automatic watch, been wearing battery operated watches 'til now) I can actually hear some sort of rattling from the watch when moving around my wrist. Is this normal? |

Yes, I guess I should have explored little more before I posted this, turned out to be the end link where they meet the case is causing this rattle noise, not the movement itself.
Put my index & thumb to hold the end links and no more rattle noise coming from the watch! :) |

Thanks!
Question on Jubilee Bracelet, what a comfortable band/bracelet to begin my first impression! According to the user's manual, Rolex recommends to adjust jubilee bracelet to fit on your wrist, which is sorta change for me, since I've been wearing my watch little loose side than fit. But after all, it's really comfortable even if in "fit" setting, I can feel there is a little wiggle room between my skin & the watch/bracelet itself. I just want to get a perfect fit to prevent the "stretch". I would like to know how you wear your jubilee bracelet Rolex. Thanks in advance! |

First of all, congrats on your Rolex!
Second, If your watch was making noise from inside, there would be a problem! Glad it was the bracelet. Third, It's good to wear your watch a little loose, but not too loose, and not too tight, but in the end, it's what YOU prefer. |

The jubilee is a very comfortable bracelet, as you say. Wearing it too loose and not maintaining a cleaning schedule will age the bracelet prematurely. Mine are fitted a bit tighter rather than looser. With swelling due to summer temps I will move the watch behind my wrist bone [toward the elbow] where my wrist is a bit thinner. Your milage may vary. dP

I like the wear my watch where it's tight, but loose enough to fit my index finger between the clasp and the underside of my wrist.

Congrats on the watch. I like my watch to be slightly loose. This allows me to slide the watch a few inches op my forearm while i'm doing desk work; preventing the clasp on my oyster bracelet from touching the table thus keeping it scratch free.
Enjoy. |
