ninjagaiden Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Folks, Recently have found it uncomfortable to wear some of my bigger top heavy watches for long periods - must be all that weight I've lost on my new year's resolution. I've also noticed that even on heavier watches I get on much better with Tang buckles than deployants. I am looking for a lightweight rep that is as comfortable as my LV Sub which I can leave on all day and not notice it is there. I am looking next at a Pam 286J on a leather strap with Pre-V buckle, a Rolex Cellini (but the Quartz movement is putting me off), or <blush> the 38mm ladies Hublot Classic fusion ceramic. Any feedback on these three? N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamcky2k Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 I can't comment on the watches you mention, but I too recently have found it difficult to wear larger watches. I used to love the bigger sizes like 45mm+ but have now worn 40 to 42mm exclusivly... Hmmm I blame solar flares effecting earths gravity exurting a greater pull on larger wristwatches...

Jkay Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 The vintage Rolex watches have hollow link bracelets and weight almost nothing. I could wear my 1680 for days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Have you considered a DateJust? They can be worn on straps as well as the bracelet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnCraig Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Corum Competition 48mm TI on soft grey brushed leather. Pure comfort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormTooper4 Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 I tried on one of these titanium IWC Chronographs on at GTG once. It was so light it was if it was made of plastic or air filled metal Not sure if you can still get these though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
importr Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 I find that rubber straps on deployant are extremely comfortable. Such as 43mm Carrera 1 Vintage, Carrera Racing, even a Skyland on a DP2 deploy is seriously good. Allows me to keep the faith whilst not getting bruised!

Jkay Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Really? I find that rubber straps make my wrist sweat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjagaiden Posted January 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I like the IWC Ti (I think now you can only get the Ingy), but the funny bead blast finish is weird looking. I prefer the polished TI cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankt Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 If you prefer Panny's, try the Ti models like the 177, or the 036...I love my 036....It almost feels like I'm not wearing anything(compared to my 8+oz Plprof!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
