Post subject:  I can be sooooo dense-avoiding flopping
I usually avoid wearing my Evo or Fishies on the bracelet because I am right in between two micro adjustments, they sit high, and therefore tend to flop towards the outer side of my wrist. And when my arm is down, like in walking, the head flops toward the hand. It really bugs me.

Friday I put my black dial Fish on the ProII and had a :idea: moment. So I grabbed the case by the lugs/end links and firmly twisted the watch towards the inside of the wrist. It moved the clasp more toward the underside outer wrist, centered the head off that bony protuberance, slightly tighened the entire set up, and the Fish sat flush on my wrist with out any flopping around. And oddly enough it tends to stay in that position and isn't too tight. This has now become a part of putting on all my bracelet Lings.

Gee, it only took me 20 months to figure this out. :oops:

So... you ... moved the watch around your wrist to fit better?

In a sense.....yeah. haha. Seriously though, I just let the watch sit before. Never gave it any thought. Thus the title of my post.

Lol. This is why it's so difficult to decipher legal jargon.

Congrats on the epiphany Sharky.

Any chance of pictoral representations of before revelation and after revelation? I hate floppy watches too.

Is it just me, or does anyone else not quite understand what this means.

Twist the watch by the lugs?

Grab the watch and rotate it hard towards the inside of your wrist.
