Just wondering if many people adjust their bracelet a little tighter in winter and looser in summer to account for wrist size changing with temperature. It seems that I need to with some and not others. This is when the micro-adjustment in the clasp is nice vs Omega's half links.

I sometimes move 1 notch on the micro. However on a watch like the TOG there isn't one. Doh!!!   |

I'll adjust the clasp on my 16610 to the biggest adjustment in the summer, and when it gets cold I'll drop it down one. I also had an extra link put in when I bought it so it would fit.

I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum. I have to take 2 links out to fit my scrawny wrist. I've got a pile of extra links starting to build up now.  |

I seldom do anything. I do prefer the micro-adjustment on the oyster bracelet over half links.  |

Rolex bracelets are so much easier in a DIY situation!!  I have to go back one hole in the clasp during summer. JJ |

The instant micro adjustment link on the new daytona bracelet has got to be best i've come across[ jockes pics ] not only have you got the normal although concealed mico micro adjustment holes, but within the clasp installed is a 1/4 - 1/2 comfort link deployed by simply unclicking (info just for those that aint seen a daytona )   steve |

Agreed, Steve, the Daytona clasp is the best there is with an ingenius system incorporated within the clasp. That flip-flop half link has been brilliantly conceived for instant adjustment without even having to take off any link or even use any tool. Brilliant!! |

except for the SD , all my other wathes i've got on straps so not an issue with me. I tend to wear my watches on the loose side so no need to change it over summer when wrist swells slightly.

Thats a great clasp and I wouldn't buy another Rolex without it. That belongs on ALL Rolex models. |

For those of us that are yet to be blessed with a Rollie... we just have to make do with a standard micro adjuster or +/- a link... Usually just leave mine alone.

Hey Chopps....most Rolex have your standard micro-adjustment just like any other watch. That cool looking clasp Steve posted is only on the Daytona. Here's the "normal" Rolex clasp.  |
