To the owners of a plat. presidential, do you ever feel like it weighs too much or starts hurting your wrist?

No, and quite the opposite. After the always enjoyable moment of putting it on the wrist in the morning and remembering the heft of the platinum, it soon becomes part of the wrist, and you’ll be used to it for the day.

In your hand, it has quite a bit of weight to it but on the wrist, I hardly notice the difference between it and my other watches.

This thread makes me think jeez "s@#$T f*&% $#@Ss those are nice watches".
No other thread does that, probably because these seem so far beyond my reach and I may never own one.
Please keep posting, I live vicariously through you guys, great photos.
