Tried on one of these over the weekend-- really a beautiful watch, and it looks like a great large size for you. Enjoy, and wear in good health! :)

After wearing the deployment clasp band for a day, I found that it wasn't comfortable to me. Went back to the AD and got a regular tang buckle band but still stayed with the fun red lizard! I really love the watch. I've been struggling to read the Rolex for a while. The Breitling is VERY easy to see. :lingsrock:

I hope you don't regret that. The strap takes a little while to break in on the deployant, but it is amazingly comfortable afterwards.

Of course if one of the tang holes is a perfect fit for you then you should be fine.

Deployment clasps on straps seem to generally be more uncomfortable for those with smaller wrists. I prefer bracelets with deployment-style closures and tang closures for bands, personally.

:yeahthat I finally settled on tang straps with aftermarket bifold deploys instead of the single fold. Works for me.

Yeah I can see that. I guess I'm just not 'delicate' enough.

My problem is that the deployment clasp took up so much room that it was wider than my wrist. It was much more rectangular than my wrist and the size of the clasp wasn't going to conform enough. The regular band feels so much more comfortable although I like the idea of the deployment.

Nice watch. Seems to fit nicely on the wrist.

I just saw your username is ArtieLange. You a big fan of the stern show?

Tang buckles are very comfortable. The only thing I don't like about them is the nasty crease that develops in the leather where the buckle is.

Which you'll avoid by using a deployment strap.

You'll also find that it's much more comfortable. Just try one up.
