question about getting the speedmaster on your wrist
Maybe a dumb question, however, I have kind of a big hand, 7.5 inch wrist. Once on the speedmaster is a great size for me. However, trying to get it on is very tough fitting it over my hand. It is a vintage model, circa 1968, and has the original bracelet which is in perfect condition. I worry about water resistance so I don't wear it to shower, etc. and find it a pain to try to get it over my hand taking it off and on, and worry about stretching the bracelet while doing so. My rolexes have the diving extention, so that eliminates the issue as there is a huge opening until you close it up. Anyone have the same problem with the speedmaster, and more importantly, a solution? As I find myself wearing it on natos, etc. becasue of this issue.Thank you for any help you can offer!

Pre Owned Rolex Papers
I'm currently in the market for a pre owned 11470, I have a choice of 2, the only difference is 1 set of papers are from Paris Jeweller the other is to be advised, I accept the watches originally came from Switzerland and to me having papers with the watch is a plus, however I was wondering if this would have any impact on the deal or have any future effect ?
