One finger rule

Do any of you follow it?

I think I might need to add an extra link because I can't even get my finger between the bracelet and skin unless I force it same thing with putting it on. I thought it might be the heat but no.

Working with 7.5" wrists and links are sized accordingly I'm wondering if I should size to 39mm as well ?

I use the one pinky slightly snug rule. It's my own rule.

I don't use that rule at all. It should fit snug enough that it is not rolling around the wrist but has a little wiggle room to move a little up and down the wrist. I like to think about it as a strap bracelet with 1 hole loose from being tight

I like snug as possible without regularly leaving any marks on my wrist when I remove it... which equates to about 1 snug pinky.

Jubilee links are smaller in size than oyster links, you should add another link for comfort, it won't result in the bracelet being too loose.

Micro adjust the clasp for a nice fit too.

I just have the AD size it up but my watches do adhere to the finger gauge, I prefer some room in case I eat salty food and drink beer lol
