Finger your watches, guys....the only way to ensure a perfect fit!!

Prince · 11 May 2006, 08:48 PM

Actually, that's a bit too loose for me, JJ. I don't like a wobbly watch on my wrist. I like it to be just a bit snug. If it gets too tight where it is, I move it slightly more toward my hand. Just me, I guess.

Somebody that proclaims that they're anal about their watches starts a thread about fingering them?

They're not sheep pal

I agree with prince. That's too loose for me. I don't want my sub cutting off circulation, but don't like movement either..

Not really loose, guys....it's just that I've got my finger pressed into my flesh and that's the impression you get.

My watches don't wobble on or around my wrist once I take out that silly finger!!

And the clasp is perfectly centralised at ALL times!!

JJ,

That's exactly how I have my brand new SD sitting on my wrist.

So you're just like me...out of box and smack on the wrist, uh? No adjustments whatsoever?

Flick · 12 May 2006, 04:24 AM

Well, out of the box, on the wrist, too tight, had the jeweler move it two notches to get it to fit like your pictures. My wrist is a little big I guess. But right after the adjustment it was right on the wrist with the same fit that your pictures show, but not centered because of the adjustment obviously.

Well if it's the same fit as my pictures show then that's EXACTLY how I got it straight out of the box - all links intact with mico-adjustment in the THIRD hole from the end (as you see it in that first picture)!!! In fact, that's EXACTLY how these babies come ORIGINALLY fitted from ROLEX. Sure your AD hadn't fiddled with it previously?

Edit:

Oh sorry mine is third from the and also. It must have been adjusted for a smaller wrist at one time for a customer to try it on, but it's definetly has all the links and is in the hole third from the end.

We have the same sized wrists, pal!!

I'm sorry JJ, I'm being a retard.

It's definetly in the second hole from the end, but was in the third hole when I first tried it on. I had to take it off and look at it open to realize what the deal was. Sorry for the confusion.

No worries, Flick....you're not a retard...just a man with a slightly larger wrist than mine!!

I would never have guessed that from the photos. Thanks for clarifying that, JJ.

.....and you're fast gaining tosser status, Allan!!

RobDad · 12 May 2006, 07:14 PM

My Sub only fits comfortably on my wrist when it's adjusted to the max - to centralise the clasp, it now has 5 1/2 links on the 6 O'clock side, and 5 1/2 'show' on the 12 side when the clasp is closed.

Pretty weird as most of the watches I've owned over the years have had a big chunk of links left over!

On another topic, anyone else think the Diver's extension on the SEL bracelets is a bit weird? - sure, it looks better than the one on the 14060 when it's closed, but when in use (ie extended) the flat metal piece stamped 's' is still very much in evidence - and looks rubbish!

Have owned a couple of 5513's over the years, and I had to replace this on both bracelets as over the years it had been badly bent/straightened etc. Can't Rolex come up with a better, prettier solution??!!
