This is probably pretty ridiculous, but I recently had my Sea Dweller serviced. While it was away I wore my 1680 - but somehow it just felt wrong. There's something in the heft on the dweller and the way it sits slightly proud on my wrist. I found with the 1680 I was just a lot more aware of the crown and the weight of the watch felt too light.

Does anyone else who has a few rolexes feel this way, ie that one just seems more perfect on the wrist even though you might love the others?

I just feel weird without the Dweller on!

I know what you mean - takes a while to adjust to a different watch - and then back again...

I've been wearing the 1680 the last couple of weeks and it feels great. I love it

It is just the law of physics, you'll get used to it. A good way to test the true weight/comfort of a watch is to put it on the other wrist and see how it feels - doing that my DSSD just feels ridiculous...

Out of all my watches, I've gone back to wearing my 16610 Sub (sans cyclops) that I've had for over 12 years, it is a perfect package IMO.

Well it's entirely possible I may change my mind eventually...

There's just something about the weight and shape that works well on my wrist.

I have an Omega Shom 200 which I think is a very beautiful piece of industrial design (in fact I like the design of that period in Omega's history (flightmaster 911 for eg)) and I also have worn my Dad's Certina DS-3 300m - which I love the look of, and it's not as if I have a big wrist either - but somehow this Dweller just fits the bill.

I did just try it on my right hand, feels preposterous! Luckily I wear it on my left.

My 36mm DJ feels the best for work. Sits nicely and fits just so under the cuffs.

LOVE the way my sport watches - and even the Pam - sit..but yes, quite different.
