Dive watches "eating" my shirt cuffs. How about you?
First world problem:
The bezel with it's coin edges, not necessarily Rolex, seem to chew my shirt cuffs. Are you experiencing the same thing?

My condolences. Looks like it's time to add a dress watch to the collection! :P
Then I clicked on your profile. Nice collection! But sorry, I can't say I've seen the same on my shirts.

I have some - under the motto "Save the cuff!".

Or don’t wear cuffs 😂

Life hack: "Dive watch equals T-shirts only".
Nope, don’t have this problem.
I never even considered this! I’ve never run into this but for whatever reason I don’t wear any divers with my long sleeve button down shirts.
Or don’t wear cuffs 😂
Or just ditch the shirt all together.
You have to wear the watch over the jacket sleeve, that is what the diver extension is for, right?
A polo is the most you’ll get from me at work (even when others wear button down).
My wife got me in a suit at the wedding, ain’t nobody getting something higher 😜
Also mine the consequences of using sports watches such as Diver watches or similar ones

So, if I wear my 16618LB like "Agnelli-style" - I'm OK?

Wow. At least we're two.

...not anymore. We're at least two 'crunchers in this thread now.
Technically, a dive watch lol slides under any cuff with no chew.
If I may ask, how are you laundering your shirts?
Excess fabric softener can exacerbate the problem.
I do not have a Submariner, but ⌚ with a coin edge bezel have not torn up my cuffs as best as I can recall.
Then again, I usually roll up my cuffs.
Though, I did notice something similar on a French cuff shirt after wearing such a ⌚ .
I understand the laundry question, but as the "frill" is at the exact part of the cuff, I blame the bezel. As can be seen from the OP-image in question, the rest of the cuff lining is intact and as new.

Oh, I understand what you are asking.
The cuff's edge is going to be most vulnerable, and the coin edge bezel is going to make it worse.
I wear double cuff shirts which always have enough space for a thicker watch, or shirts with two buttons so the width can be extended. I don't think any of my shirts are standard single button cuffs.

I do too - sometimes. Here represented by the 16610LV with an original LN-insert.
That’s Moths not a Rolex! 🤣
Perfect answer!
Wouldn’t have this problem with a nice scalloped bezel… like on say an Omega SMP… just saying…
Yes on every left sleeve but who cares
With that watch, I’d happily invest in my own shirt company. 😜😜😜
I wear thinner watches with my dress shirts.
First World problem for sure. Maybe slip on the Patek next time you wear a shirt with cuffs?
I wouldn't necessarily blame the watch. All cuffs fray a bit with time.
Safer with inner bezel😊
I’ve worn a dress shirt maybe twice in my life. Hasn’t been a problem so far 😁😉
The solution is to keep the watch and ditch the dress shirt. 😀
