how do you wear your rolex?
do you wear your watch lower down to your hand or up the wrist? do you wear it tight or loose? can you fit a finger in-between the watch and your arm? do you prefer it loose? or tight? people with adjustable clasp, do u wear the clasp fully out or closed? how often do you adjust the easy link or adjust the clasp?

Fairly tight but still with some movement. If I wear a watch tight it doesn't bother me until I do something physical but then I hate it!

I wear mine as close to hand as humanly possible. I think it looks tacky when it slides up my arm towards my elbow; almost girly to me. I wear mine loose but not to where I can spin it around my wrist or anything. I cant stand the feeling of a too tight watch. So, loose for me and very very close to my hand.

Comfortably snug down against the hand which allows moving behind the wrist when things heat up.

I wear it just right, not tight enough to leave marks and not loose enough to rattle and slide.

Mostly tight with just enough room so it doesn't move. Usually in the summer I have to readjust the bracelet.

Not to tight, but not too loose. I don't like it to be biting in my flesh, nor sliding down my arm.

I can put my index finger between the bracelet and the and bottom side of my wrist, and as close to my hand.

Loose enough to slide over my wrist bone, barely. I can probably slip a little finger between bracelet and wrist. With straps, I wear them snugger, but they can still slide over the wrist bone.

Funny... I've always preferred both to be a nice tight fit!

Comfortably loose. Just snug enough that the crown doesn't rub against the top of my hand too much.

Pinkie finger can fit between my wrist and bracelet. Just the right amount of wiggle room.

I was going to say I wear it with flair and panache. But I'm not really sure how to spell 'panache' or what exactly it means.
I wear mine tight enough so that it does not leave marks on my wrist. |

I have narrow wrists, and I wear all my watches tight enough that they only slide about 2-3" towards and away from my left hand. In perspective, the watch never goes farther up my arm than my cuffs on my shirt, but can hang out of a white shirt. The new-to-me day-date fits perfectly in this respect for me.
OMG I love Rolex!!! |

Left wrist.
Relatively loose with about 2 inches of movement along my arm for the SS bracelet. With a NATO or rubber strap I wear it a bit tighter.
