    Does your rolex(es) fit better on your other wrist?

    I am a righty so naturally I wear my watches on my left wrist. However when it comes to rolex and their clasp/links and permanent links :( placement, the clasp always goes off centered.

    for those of you with similar problems, did you:
    1. live with it
    2. remove permanent link
    3. flip bracelet
    4. wear it on something else :cautious:

    My Daytona and sub both fit very well, the 116520 is probably the most comfortable watch I own and the easy-link system is great but I've tried a 116610 sub with the wide clasp and it didn't suit my wrist at all, its just too wide and the curve of it is not right for my wrist.

    Which Rolex are you talking about? As it does vary greatly between their clasps, some are great and some are downright awful.

    i have a 16570 and a 14060M, both watches on my left wrist do not fit right. i would ideally need to take a link out to make it work, except destroying a permanent link is costly. i have considered an aftermarket bracelet to make this work. on my right wrist, both watches fit fine. I have also considered an alternate end link to get rid of the pesky dive extension on the 14060M.

    There's another trick that some have used on Rolexes, you get the soft/fuzzy side of an adhesive velcro pad, and stick it to the caseback which will make the watch stand up off your wrist a bit without damaging the watch or altering the bracelet permanently.

    Like the one on the right here:

    I did not, as far as I know neither previous owner did.

    That's a good question, I will take a look at it when I get home.

    It's there. Just the way it's adjusted, you can't really see. 1496180762105.jpeg 1496180784524.jpeg

    Live with it, or get bigger wrists. If you can't do either of those then sell it to me and get something smaller. :p

    Totally kidding of course.

    The 93150 flip-lock on my Sub is awful. I removed a permanent link which centered it but still wasn't happy. My 78360 buckle and bracelet fit me so much better.
