Is the Platinum Day-Date too Heavy for a Daily Wear

[Farran]

PM watches are not really too heavy IMO, it depends on you totally, some people wear large chunky and heavy watches and it works, you would get used to the weight as you wear it more.

[Calatrava r]

It really depends on if you can get a good fit. If the watch is at all loose, it will move around and be uncomfortable to wear. There seems to be a little more latitude in fit with gold as the metal is lighter.

7 3/8” wrist here, and I could daily this 36mm platinum DD from a comfort standpoint. The smaller 36mm size really balances the watch for me and gives it the right amount of weight I enjoy without it being too much or unwieldy on the wrist. In contrast, I’ve also owned the platinum DD 40mm (several times…) and found that it was too big and too heavy in platinum to be a daily. YMMV

If I had to pick one of my watches to commit to for daily wear it would probably be the platinum dd40. I change up my watch everyday but when I go with the platinum it’s the only one I never put back and keep wearing. The weight is not an issue at all. It looks and feels fantastic. You really can’t do better.

My daily is my DD 40. It’s actually hard to wear anything else.

That's so nice! This is the perfect dial combo.

Fantastic dial combination Stephen!

I found the Platona annoyingly heavy over time. I suspect the DD40 would be considerably lighter. Unless you're set for the ice blue dial, an alternate would be a WG watch as it's hard to discern the difference other than on the wrist.

The Concentric dial added some depth to the dial and watch and it caught the light well. Both are fine but for a purchase like this I would search each out and see them in person before I made a choice.

Pure class my friend.

[yessir69]

I wear mine daily. It took a little getting used to but now I find the weight comforting.

It's not really about the weight for me. I have thin and bony wrists. I have a hard time wearing any Rolex bracelet 24 hours after a few days. I do find jubilee bracelets more comfortable than oyster. I've never tried to wear a president bracelet to bed or really long term. All my watches eventually go to NATO or gator, because the sharp edges of metal bracelets are eventually too much. But NATO I can wear for months. My Dad has had a 5513 on a NATO for about 17 years, and I don't think he takes it off. If you can wear a steel watch on an oyster, you probably won't have an issue with a 950 DD.

I own several platinum watches but none of them Rolex so it's hard for me to comment specifically.

Here's a recent illustration after wearing the platinum on my right wrist for several months. As you can see, I've since changed back to the left wrist.

Hope this helps...

you SURE that's why your right arm is so much bigger??
