How do you wear your Rolex?
Question...do you like to wear your Rolex loose or tight on your wrist?
I personally like to leave one additional link to have my watches loose allowing them to move up and down my wrist. |

Depends on what I am doing and with glidelock I can easily change it.

On my wrist. Not a fan of the 80s flopping around 'look and feel'... just my opinion.

Snug but not tight. 2 fingers can fit beneath the clasp.

I tried "snug" and it left no room for mid day swelling, so its snugaloose, it allows slight movement, but no flop.

Snug is good, and what I prefer.

Semi-snug......using the TRF oft repeated "enough room to slide the tip of the little finger under the clasp".

Snug enough that the watch doesn't move around but comfortable. When I go to check the time I don't want to have to perform that quick flip of the arm to get the watch head to move from the outside of my wrist to the inside so I can read it. It's a watch, not a charm bracelet.
Besides, loose bracelet = premature stretch.

I would prefer snug but my odd-size wrists conspire against me!!
I had a link taken out and it's too tight, had it put back in and it flops. |

Jocke did the photoshop of JJ's face on the finger. That picture remains one of the great artifacts of JJ's time with us.
