Rolex Day-Date 6611/B, dauphine hands are simply lovely!! The super slow non quickset 1055 movement is a super pain to set day and date.

Nice D-D, i like the big crown.

wearing any bracelet loose will acclerate the degradation of the band. band shd be nice fitting and not dangling like how old uncles are hawker centres wear their watches. Anyway, it is a matter of perferenece and style.

Agreed.
I dont wear it dangling at all.
It's loose in the sense, it is not strangling and generally allows movement but very very minimal.

I wear my DD just a teeny weeny bit loose now which is fine.
If it really stretches more in a few years, i may remove a link.

For some reasons, There aren't many 1973 rolexes around... That was also the period where rolex stopped stamping their case back.

Thanks for the good info!

Those posted were never tightened before, only the 1803 which I sent to MY, yet to see the tightness, standby additional links just in case.

Bro, I'm also thinking of sending my band to him. But unlike ss, MY don't "tighten" the gold bracelets. That's why bracelets after restorations don't feel same as original bracelets.

Pl share pix and also verdict after you receive your band from MY. Thanks bro.

[minimerc]

Oh what a pity!

I would like a 1803 circa 1973....

That is one of the possible outcomes of a tightened bracelet.

Just wondering, I've tried one pre-owned DD with "tightened" bracelet, and somehow it doesn't feel so comfortable on the wrist. Not just because of tightness, but somehow the movement of each link around the pin is restricted. But it could be just that one piece.

Second, will RSC still accept a piece with tightened bracelet for servicing?

Yes i do believe that RSC will still service the movement.
