How would you describe the difference in wearability or comfort between the 116519 and 116500?

I’m wondering the same. Thinking about picking up a 116518 or 116519.

I like the thinking, but if I tell her about it, there is no way she will allow it to sit in the safe for the next four months!!

Tricky question to answer. I typically like to wear my watches a little loose which I did with the 500 but not with the 519 (don’t think rubber bracelet watches work well worn loose).

So I probably found the 500 a touch more comfortable than the 519, but that’s not to say the 519 isn’t comfortable.

However, the 519 is a little more versatile in my view in terms of what it can be worn with. It works equally well with shorts and a t-shirt as it does with a suit. Whereas I prefer not to wear a metal bracelet watch with a suit.

Thanks for all the comments everyone. I’m more excited by this than I am by purchases for myself!
