PM - too much for me all the time

First time traveling with my PM Daytona, had it on for almost 4 days.

Loved wearing the piece, but after returning home it was nice to put on a stainless piece.

The heft of the PM (both literally in weight and figuratively in value) was just too much to wear ALL the time. Made me realize that I couldn’t only have a PM watch.

I, for one, enjoy feeling the weight of PM- with a full PM bracelet-in a daily-wear.

For me, the “weight” is more of a mental one in that with PM you need a greater degree of wrist (and doorway) awareness to avoid dents/dings/scratches b/c of the soft metal and b/c you need more situational awareness (more so with YG).

Is there much difference in weight between, for example, a PM Daytona on rubber and a 126610?

I would think the Oysterflex bracelet would neutralize any perceived weight problems. For example, I’d imagine a solid gold Sub with solid gold bracelet would be a lot heavier.

Beautiful watch by the way….
