Your dealer is an idiot who is obviously very naive. You should ALWAYS wear a watch on the loose side rather than too tight. If the watch is too tight, it will REALLY hurt your wrist when you perspire (your wrist swells more than you realize when you sweat). Further, if the watch is too tight the links and pins will stretch which will cause MORE wear on the bracelet, not less. Sadly, this is yet another example of how grossly uninformed salespeople are.

: SO; How do you wear YOUR bracelet?

ALL of my Omegas are fitted on the loose side, enough so I can stick my little finger through the bracelet. This way, if I sweat, I have extra room to accomodate the swelling of my wrist.
