The Herc's a real beauty. I can't believe I turned one down a few years ago on account of me thinking it was too big! :roll:

It's taking some time getting used to.

Soooooooooooooo heavy. Must easily be the heaviest watch i've owned.

A friend of mine saw it this morning and wants to do a straight swap with a watch of his......a Titanium Chrono Avenger Automatic on bracelet, black dial.

Would you... or wouldn't you?????

No way, not me. The Herc is unique, and even though it is pretty heavy, it is extremely comfortable to wear. My AS seems much more heavy feeling than the Herc to me. You will get used to it, especially if you are used to much lighter watches. I personally can't do Titanium...it is way too light. Seems almost plastic to me.

Very nice! I wish that the new bezel on the new Chronomat B01 was more like the bezel on that Herc.
Cheers,

Nice going! A Herc AND a CA in almost as many days.

And you definitely made the right choice by keeping the Herc. :thumbsup:

Hate to admit it, as I really like the Herc, but the CA is sooooooooo much more comfortable whilst retaining the 44mm size.

Ah well.

Will keep the Herc, for a while, until I can find a nice Aerospace Advantage or Steelfish.
