10mm above the wrist bone.

Rebel · 1 May 2013, 09:42 PM

Firm. That is comfortable to me.

It depends on how hot it is outside.

floater156 · 1 May 2013, 11:39 PM

Just snug enough that it will not slip over my wrist bone onto my hand. When I first put the watch on it is just barely loose enough to slip over, but it only takes about 5 minutes of wear for my wrist to warm up and hold it nicely in place. I adjusted my watch size in 4 different variations before I found a comfortable fit. I may have to readjust it now that the weather is warming up, but I love the ez-link for when it's really hot.

As for the shock issue... My 16613 has over 10K Harley-Davidson miles on it. It's only been serviced once in it's 12 years and keeps almost perfect time.

Whoa...wait a minute there buddy. Are you suggesting that it's safe to wear your Rolex while riding a Harley?

firm but not tight..

sea-dweller · 2 May 2013, 01:45 AM

Loose enough to place a finger under the bracelet.

Interesting measurement

I like mine loose enough to get about 1/2 of of a finger width room between the bracelet and my wrist. Any tighter and I am constantly moving the watch around looking for a little more comfort!

I can just fit my pinky between the bracelet and my wrist. It's actually a little looser than I would prefer, but my only option would be to remove a link which makes it too tight. I can deal with a little loose, but a little too tight drives me crazy.

My super jubilee is a bit loose. I can fit my index finger between the clasp and the bottom of my wrist.
This is because the bracelet doesn't offer any type of fine adjustment.

SJCal90 · 15 May 2013, 01:23 PM

I heard somewhere to wear watches firm to prevent bracelet stretch..

Chaching · 15 May 2013, 01:25 PM

Inbetween Loose and Tight...****comfy****

Mr. Doug · 15 May 2013, 02:53 PM

I love the 116400 bracelet, because I start the day right, and can loosen it "1-click" about half-way through the day.

Z-Sub · 15 May 2013, 03:51 PM

personal preference, whichever is comfortable. I prefer snug. older bracelet with hollow links are more comfortable.

Why are hollow links more comfortable?
I have newer style bracelets, so I'm just curious. Thanks!

Betelc · 15 May 2013, 04:45 PM

I wear mine tight because of my small wrist. From the picture, it appears nicely fitted.

But this is the consequence.

Am I uncomfortable? Well, if it's indoors with the air con on, the wearing is fine. Once outdoors with the heat and sweat causing the wrist to expand, it does feel uncomfortable. Nonetheless, wouldn't settle for a looser fit because the watch will slip about 0.5cm down the wrist, causing it to hang loose.

SearChart · 15 May 2013, 06:21 PM

Frim but not too tight.

bonbonson · 15 May 2013, 06:24 PM

Here in my country once it is the afternoon my wrist always expands so i have to wear my watch loose its not like i have a glidelock bracelet

anipit · 15 May 2013, 06:24 PM

I wear it a little loose, little finger thru bracelet.
Or better during winter it is more loose, in summer, stays more fit.

mrallen13 · 15 May 2013, 07:17 PM

Tight. The Glidelock is perfect the ability to change on the fly if necessary.

alvintancy70 · 15 May 2013, 09:16 PM

As long as the pinky finger is able to fit between the wrist and bracelet in the morning, it would be fine with me as the weather during the day makes my wrist expand wihich in turn makes it quite snug.
