Mole on my Rolex for a better fit...

I know there have been lots of posts/threads about optimizing bracelet fit (moving links from one side to the other, half links, micro hole adjustment, glidelock, easy link, hirsch pad on caseback, etc etc. ), but tried somthing a few days ago I had been thinking about and has worked pretty good.

Cut a piece of dr Scholl's mole skin and affixed to inside of clasp . Comfortable and decreases slippage of the watch down the wrist.

Seems like a good idea. Hope it doesn't soak in water/sweat then become stinky

Have thought of this- if it does, I can peel off and replace . A pack of mole skin coats around $3.50 US and would produce probably 30 strips at least

It's easily replaced as deemed necessary.
It could become a tiresome exercise replacing it continually over time.
I wonder if the adhesive comes off the steel easily/cleanly

Otherwise it's a good idea

Gotta watch out for that pre-mature slippage. Can happen anytime, anywhere.

or shrinkage...that tends to pop up from time to time, when you least expect it.
