Any out there? I have just realized that the arc on the deployant buckle is too curved for a large wrist. I am about 8.5 inches and have felt a bit of irritation. I thought it was the release buttons. However, I have analyzed the strap, and the deployant buckle really could be flatter. I have compared it with my Rolex clasps and it is noticibly more curved. I am thinking of smoothing the edges of the ends of the claps wi a file with the hope of making it a bit more smooth.
I have a nice strap from Rob Montana, but i just picked up an extra large strap from the boutique in NYC and I rather like it and would be nice if i could wear it.

Waddya think?

I don't like the depl. clasp, it digs into the skin,
Definitely prefer the tang buckle

x2, the depl clasp isn't comfortable at all.

x3, I have a 7.5" wrist and didn't like the Panerai deployment clasps at all. Sold mine and went back to the tang. It's a different story on my Breilting Navi 01 LE though. The Panerai deployment didn't feel as secure and dug into my skin. I'm not a fan of any double fold deployments and if given the choice would take the tang buckle.
