its about 2000.00 dollar difference??? why does everyone prefer the 1950 case??? is it lighter on the wrist????

Trurolexer · 6 May 2009, 12:13 AM

not only the case,but it has the escape valve and 1000 meters WR...even the caseback also is different. Price difference is definetly more than 2 grands...

why do u think the 1950 case is more comfortable on the wrist??

100thmonkey · 6 May 2009, 02:53 AM

I have worn both and the 243 just feels more balanced and proportioned on the wrist, the 1950 case creates the illusion of smooth lines and is simply perfect.

Shame you are not in UK, you could have mine for £4300!! I have my eye on soemthing else. (not a watch)

brainbizz · 6 May 2009, 03:04 AM

Own both essentially different watches. 24 is more comfortable and for daily wear while 243 is more of a diving watch once in a while watch.

tuisquash · 6 May 2009, 03:52 AM

243

Mthwatch · 6 May 2009, 04:26 AM

I long for the 243, but I'm happy with my 24. I like the polished case on the 24, but I prefer the 1950 case of the 243. I prefer the chunkier bezel on the 243 but I like the larger overall dial of the 24...and on it goes. I saved a bunch of cash and I love the 24...very happy. I have some cash left over to get something else in the future...

Yes, I wear the 24 everyday. I go back and forth with straps...leather today. Tomorrow the new style rubber from the 243. This weekend I'll go with the OEM rubber deployant. I love this watch and I find it very comfortable to wear daily.

Randy · 6 May 2009, 05:29 AM

My 24 just arrived! I like the larger dial IMO.

Nica64 · 6 May 2009, 10:33 AM

For daily wear the 24

........... what about the 305

?

hflee55 · 6 May 2009, 12:10 PM

i would get the 24 & then go for the newer 305.

WatchTimes · 6 May 2009, 12:52 PM

305 is too big for my wrist.
I want a 243 and I want to get it done in a PVD/DLC!

brainbizz · 6 May 2009, 01:08 PM

243 vs 24

How about the 25? it's lighter and a great daily wearer.

Depending on which series you are talking about. 24 could even be more expensive than 243.

1950 case is too common these days

"24 could even be more expensive than 243" yesh if you are comparing the discontinued 24 T dial to a regular 243...just like the amazing 1680 to a regular 16610...

i thought luminor was common..

Up to the recent J series, 24 is still T-dial.

Pam is cashing in on the popularity of the 1950 case

Luminor is the bread & butter
