It's only like that because I bent my wrist upwards to catch the light. I always Size my straps / bracelets so as I can slip my little finger underneath, I know then it's a perfect fit
How can you come on here and make such an UTTER fool of yourself, who can we report you to for watch abuse?I suggest you adjust the bracelet or clasp until it doesn't feel comfortable to your personal taste and you are feeling borderline "claustro"
While we're on it, how tight are your shoes?
Lovely watch!

I'm not one of the watch worn correctly perverts but there's something unsettling about this photo, I think it's your white hairy white legs and feet. I do like the sub on the NATO though. Was that the only strap you could get around your ankles? 
It's even creeping me out!!!!!Doofus said:

Look at the photo though - he has it pushing into the back of his hand and too far forward.
I'm with Chris, he is wearing it wrong and it looks mad.
Why can't he do whatever he wants? Why does wearing a watch need an arbitrater? I'm with Chris, he is wearing it wrong and it looks mad.
Of course he can do whatever he likes, no-one's telling him he can't, but he is wearing his watch in an extraordinary manner and it's been commented on. No more, no less.

Why post a photo of your watch if you don't want people to comment on it? Genuine question by the way. Is it just to say 'I've got a Rolex, no comments required' or are only ultra positive comments welcome?

It wasn't just commented on, "No more, no less". It was decreed as a "classic case" of being worn incorrectly. I wonder how Chris56 is able to define this particular instance a 'classic case', unless he's some kind of a consultant whose advice is sought by myraid watch wearers. Or perhaps he goes looking for opportunities to find people who are breaking the Rules On How To Wear A Watch Correctly.Of course he can do whatever he likes, no-one's telling him he can't, but he is wearing his watch in an extraordinary manner and it's been commented on.

Comment, by all means. I'm surprised, for example, that nobody's mentioned the peculiar little finger thing. A brief search on this site will demonstrate that I'm fairly prone to comment and critique myself, so I'm not being sactimonious. But wearing his watch like that is not wrong, even if it is noteworthy.
To be fair, what got my back up was "A classic case", which was fatuous in the extreme.

-Someone posts a really strange way of wearing a watch that looks like it actually hurts.
-Someone says 'that's wrong'.
-You: Wall of text describing how it makes you feel.

Obvious; he's wearing it the wrong way. Everyone knows it should be on the inside of the right ankle, so he can glance at the time whilst sitting with the foot resting on left knee.Gassing Station | Watches | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
