Re: seamaster watch band
In Response To: seamaster watch band ()

You know, it might not be your band. Materials expand when they heat up. The only way I see that your band could contract when it heats up is if the pins between the links are expanding and pulling the links closer together. But then again, your links should be expanding at the same rate (probably more, since they are bigger) and negate whatever expansion the pins had. Even if your band is getting smaller because of temperature issues, I don't think fifty degrees will be enough to make a noticeable difference. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

I wear a metal ring and when my hand is cold it gets loose, and when my hand is warm it gets tight. My assumption was that it is my muscles that are contracting and expanding. Kind of like how your muscles get pumped if you are lifting weights.

Maybe your rubber band gives a little more room for your wrist to expand in? Maybe adding an extra link would solve your problem. Just a suggestion. =]
