Royal Oak bracelet fit question
I recently purchased a Royal Oak 15510st. With three links out it was a bit snug, so had them put one back and leave out two. Now it is slightly loose (crown rests on back in hand). Every so often in the afternoon on a warmer day it fits perfect, staying above wrist bone on its own without feeling tight. I am debating about getting a 1.5 link, so it always fits like this, but nervous once it is summer time it will be too snug. Is the general consensus that during winter months it will fit loose allowing room for the wrist to swell during summer months? I’m used to Rolex’s, which I can always dial in to fit perfect. Thanks for your input.

I have the same issues as you described with the standard RO bracelet. I always put a 1.5 link and the fit is just perfect.

In summer (and when I’m on an airplane) my wrist definitely swells a little as I can notice the difference in fit so do be aware of that. I had a 1 1/2 link added when I got mine a few years ago and it was perfect. I lost quite a bit of weight and had the link taken out and replaced with a normal one.
I need to be careful though as my weight has gone up a little lately NB/ Being a bit OCD here but when you look at the underside of your wrist it won’t be a symmetrical look with a 1 1/2 inch link in which may or may not bother you |

Get the 1.5 now and you can take it out or add it back based on the season.
