My AD spent time with me to get the right fit. I got it set for the max it would be, with room to tighten it. I think personal preference and your local weather ranges determine how to go. Don’t know if this helps.

 

Ok Thanks. So how many notches do you see for a normal setting?

 

I sized my bracelet in a way, such that the tightest setting on guidelock is for normal use (aka worn on skin) and the full adjustment is to expand the bracelet to accommodate wet suit thickness.

Don't think there's a right/wrong way to do it, but I don't see why I'd ever need to shrink the bracelet tighter than normal/daily wear.

For the non-divers, do whatever you'd like ... because who cares? I suppose if someone wishes to wear their watch on wrist and at times outside of jacket during winter (skiing as am example), then my method would still work?

 

My bad Hoosier, these are the notches as mentioned.

Sorry. Mine is a BLNR. I’m a rookie at technical stuff.

 

I wear mine as follows. The short size is comfortable for daily wear. Then If I want to wear over clothing or a wetsuit, I can adjust the Bracelet clasp to a large enough size to accommodate whatever I am needing to wear. Vance.

 

I try to size my adjustable clasps with the adjuster in the middle at room temperature. This gives adjustment room for both wrist expansion and contraction.

If I find I'm at the limit on either side while wearing, I resize to not be at the limit if possible.

 

Hello all. As some of you know, I just purchased a new sub. Still relatively new with glidelock, can you please help which is more of an ideal setup, or which one you prefer? I believe I have a 7.25” wrist

With my Bluesy, I have one link taken off at 6 o’clock, with a 4 x 6 setup. The best and most comfortable adjustment for the glidelock is at this setting:

On the sub I recently acquired, with the full links this is the comfortable setup:

Now I’m trying to decide whether to remove one link on the SS, or add the extra link back to the TT.

I’m trying to minimize trial and error. Your thoughts and/or Insights would be greatly appreciated.

I’m so excited to get my SS up and running. The only reason I want to leave the SS as is to leave it “unsized”

…For the record, I don’t dive but would like to someday.

 

My comment earlier (post #5) still stand.

Something else I thought of, is I prefer having as many links on the watch as possible to minimize the amount of extra links I may lose or throw away by accident. I can always take more off, but what's lost is lost.

 

For ALL Rolex metal bracelets, I like to add as many links possible, then wear the adjustment to the most inner (tightest) setting. I like the clasp to be a double decker metal sandwich for as much stiffness as possible.
Less ability to wiggle side-to-side in that sandwich…..fishtailing if you will.
This goes for Jubilees and Oysters…..and the ONLY time I adjust is in heat making it larger with Easy-Link.
Regarding the Submariner…..same deal…..I want to begin with as much extension as possible for wearing over 5mm wet suit. But when not diving, inner settings for most secure sandwich channel.

Many thanks M1!

I may ultimately remove one link as with all the links on, can’t have it fully snug, in case I lose weight as well.

 

Thanks again all. Ended up taking off one link as it’s the only way to center the clasp.

 

I had never looked at mine until today. When I bought it, it was sized perfectly for my wrist. I'm not certain it has all links but mine is in the second to last notch (allowing for the second widest setting) if that makes sense.

 

I'm picky about bracelet fit. For me, I need more expansion since I live in the tropics. I had mine sized to lock on the second notch for every day wear with more room to size up. I like the watch to sit on my wrist so that I don't have to constantly pull it back or spin my wrist to read the time. It's a difficult fit to find without being too tight.

I wish Rolex had a spring option like the Tudor Pelagos. That's my every day beater and I never have to adjust it. Best adjustable clasp design I've ever used. I'm actually surprised Rolex hasn't adopted it.

@MackyP your GMT looks great on the jubilee. Enjoy.

 

Thanks D! Did you mean yours is set all the way almost touching the clasp, or you can actually see two notches as shown in my previous pictures?

In regards to the springy adjustment Tudor has, I heard some don't use that available function and don't go beyond the setting where it activates it. I also find the clasp showing the spring action hideous

Yes, jubilee helps to change the flavor a bit considering my DJ41 on jubilee is gone.

 

I never remove more links than I have to. Ymmv.

 

I have a 7.75 wrist and mine is generally one notch showing, sometimes 2. One is usually the sweet spot.

 

7 inch wrist (~~17.5cm), my bracelet is sized to my liking - I like to wear it a bit tight and over the bone. When my wrist expands I go one notch, 2 at max. With the lock positioned on my last notch I can wear it over jacket sleeves or wet-suit.
