Flopping the bracelet
Here's a tip I'd like to share: I don't have very big wrists, one morning I put my GMT on up side down and noticed the bracelet fit my wrist better. So I removed it and flopped it 180. The watch face also sits flatter on my wrist now. If you have issues with fit you might try wearing your watch upside down for awhile and see if you would benefit.

Thanks for the tip. But I think the wristshots posted here would become less interesting if we all did that.

Did that with my sub, worked great. Strange thing is all the others fit perfectly-I'm thinking it's the extension that made the sub fit crooked as all of them have a 6/5 fit.

Hmm, indeed...interesting. I just tried it with my Sub as it does sit a little off at times. I couldn't really tell a difference in just a moment's time. Might bear trying for a longer time though. I had heard of this before, but never tried the up side down flip.
Mine bracelet is currently adjusted for four big links at 6 o'clock and five links at 12 o'clock. When it is warm and the bracelet is snug, I notice the "flop" less than when the bracelet is looser. |

I did this with my Explorer I a week after I got the watch; it's just the way my wrist is shaped, just fits better.
