I paid a small price for wearing my watch a little loose, started getting hard skin where the crown rubbed which either turned into psoriasis or aggravated a psoriasis condition?? Hence the reason I am a bit embarrassed to post wrist shots sometimes, you can see the red mark in the pic....but there is positive....I guess I could start a whole new thread alongside the “investment / scratches how long to wait threads....’has you Rolex ever given you a medical condition?’

Yes. You notice a little heft but it sits nicely. I took the diver extension out and a link on each side.

Wearing it with the glidelock all the way out, exposing the small satin link. (my wrist isn’t big) The clasp is perfectly centered underneath my wrist.

So has anyone noticed how the bezel numbers are oriented? I assume the odd and somewhat askew orientation is done to make everything look “right” when you glance at it, but it’s interesting how all of them slant left and certain number pairs (the 2 and 0 in the 20) seem to be quite independently oriented vs aligned to each other.

Orient the bezel so that each numeral is right side up to see what I’m referencing.

If you don't mind me asking, what size is your wrist? Removing the diver extension + 2 links and wearing the gridlock fully extended is quite a bit.

Just get your left cuff made slightly larger. Did this to fit my ROOs but works for my DSSD as well.

I haven’t measured.

You do understand that I’m saying the glidelock is open at its largest position right?

I could have left at least another link in and slid the glidelock closed more.

Yep! Was being ironic! It fits just perfect on pretty much all of my shirts. Hate tight cuffs anyway

Yes, I understand. I shouldn't have mentioned the glidelock being fully extended, but removing the diver extension +2 links is quite a bit

New RubberB arrived last night for the 22mm lug version. Love this combo without the side wings.

Looks fantastic! I was moving forward with the purchase but I couldn't choose the black color, only the black/blue was available. I'm going to try again, otherwise I'll give them a call and see what's going on.

Great pic and congrats. Maybe I'm in the minority but I actually like all the writing on it. No idea why. Regardless, beautiful watch.
