The Breitling Watch Source Forums

It was never really a favourite, but the Aerospace was brilliant to wear. So light and comfortable.

hehehehe

i guess maybe by comfort, its just the feeling of wearing the watch without feeling it on the wrist??? i dont know. different for different folks.

BTW youre still my buddy jlee

In the least technical way I can put it, if a watch makes your wrist ache when you wear it, it's uncomfortable. If you've never experienced that, consider yourself lucky, and take it on faith that not everybody is as fortunate.

I have had a little bit of pain before, but it can be something as simple as a feeling of "top-heavy"-ness that makes a watch feel just a little uncomfortable, or the way a watch case sits on the wrist, the way the shape of the lugs works with the curve of the wrist that feels a little more or less comfortable. Bracelets have a lot to do with it as well, in terms of heft and construction. My AP 15202 is very thin and light, but I recall the newer 15300 version of the Royal Oak as thicker, a little heavier, and not as comfortable My Yacht with solid end links had a better feeling of balanced weight than my old GMT. It was very a much a "forget you have it on" watch for me. A Milgauss I tried on recently felt nice as well.

Guess so... makes sense. But then again I'm not too experienced with many brands either... I started my collection heavy with vintage and most vintage pieces are lightweight compared to contemporary pieces... as boogie said... different strokes for different folks.

The Navi on tang strap is a forget your are wearing it watch for me. The last hole has just enough to give me a snug but comfortable feel.

Dear God, I love that watch!! That is my number one grail. I'd have to say these two would be the most comfortable watches I've ever owned. I hate to admit this but many years ago when Invicta make a decent watch I owned a one from the Vintage line with a triple date and a 5 row beads of rice bracelet. I would love to own that watch again, only if I could just get the brand name off of the watch. It was a real looker.
