I had the same problem >>>

In Response To: Desperately trying to enjoy it, but to no avail. *PIC* ()

but not as extreme as yours. I liked the idea of a loose bracelet, but the weight of it hanging on my upper hand, combined with the crown poking my wrist, caused me as well to go to a strap.

Then when I was visiting my authorized dealer, I noticed that the sales guy, had the same watch as me, but was wearing it on his wrist, so that it didn't fall down to his hand (hence the term wristwatch I guess, NOT hand watch).

In any event, I gave him mine and he took it in the back. I don't know exactly what he did in regards to links, but it fits very comfortably on my wrist. It isn't too tight, and it isn't too loose. Just enough play in it to compensate for teemperature and humidity changes.

I agree with Derek that a half link can't make that much difference as you've described. Also, the fact that I wear it on my wrist, completely eliminated the weight issue.

Regards,

Dave
