PM - too much for me all the time

[Rollieo]

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?

[Krash]

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….

I did think the same thing

[lord91]

On the contrary, for me. Since i got my Day-Date at the end of august, i don't want to take it off my wrist. I've only worn the Sub once, for no more than 1 hour. For me, the heft and presence of a full PM watch, especially YG, is completely addictive.



I personally find wearing a Daytona like yours even easier, since is WG and on OF, but to each his own. Love your meteorite dial!

I can see that OP. For me SS is the perfect all round material for an everyday watch.

[travisb]

I agree. I love my PM watches but SS is my choice for a daily.

Sheesh...imagine if it was a full PM on bracelet....you'd be miserable lol.

Full YG and RG don't suit me at all. I could probably live with WG. Physical weight doesn't bother me but I get what you say about visual weight. Entirely a personal thing.

[joli160]

To each their own, for me it is the opposite. I almost never wear SS anymore

[BriansRolex]

Opposite for me once I went PM it's hard to think about wearing SS again and with yours being on OF it should be very manageable

Ya..
Opposite for me. Last thing I’m ever thinking is i want ss when wearing pm.
Very nice watch tho.

I have come full circle and went from SS to TT to PM to almost an entire collection of PM watches. I have since circled back around to mostly SS and Titanium watches. I still own a PM watch but it really get no wrist time. It only took 30 years to make this circle.

[PenDelicate]

I can clearly feel the weight-different between a SS Sub and a PM Daytona when I have them in-hand.

But on wrist ... I can't.

My WG Daytona on Oysterflex weighs significantly more than my stainless Sub.
