I am curious how much research Rolex did to pick 5mm as the optimum length. As to the OP's question, I adjust my watch looser when I lay down or after lifting weights. Traditionally I would just size my bracelets a bit looser than tighter for this size change. With easylink I can wear my DJ2 a bit more precise and tighter without the feeling of my wrist being strangled when it swells. Has any one ever developed any looseness snapping the easylink closed by excessive use??

I would agree if it worked for me. The problem I have with easy link is that it doesn't work with my wrist. I've tried every micro adjustment and link configuration with my Datejust II and BLNR and I can never get it so easy link works. I either have to set it so easy link is always open or always closed.
If I move the adjustment one way easy link only fits closed and if I try to open it it's WAY too loose. If I move the adjustment the other way it only fits with easy link open and if I close it it's WAY too tight.
So I like the "idea" of easy link, but unfortunately it doesn't work for me. Glidelock ftw (for me at least)
