Arm pain from watch?
Has anyone ever experienced pain from wearing your Rolex? I've had my DJII for one month and it's the heaviest watch I've ever worn. I've noticed lately that the weight of the watch seems to be making a small pain in my arm right under the head of the watch. I don't think it's too tight, because I can fit my pinky under the bracelet. I'm just hoping I get used to it or I may have to flip it for a lighter watch.

I've never had any problem with my sub, the IWC AT is pretty heavy though. (still didn't really bother me)

feels like muscle - It's a similar feeling to when I used to played guitar too long.

I can bench 265 lbs, don't think that's the problem.

Hit the weights!
No seriously the DJII isn't that heavy a watch in the grand scheme of things. Try a 45mm Omega PO 8500 sometime! I think you'll get used to it. If not you'd have to go to a smaller or thinner watch and most of Rolex's new ones are on par with the DJ in terms of weight. |

Seriously, do you have any wrist issues, carpal tunnel or similar?

It had to get used to my PAM 86.
A whole lot heavier watch than I was used to wear |

I've had some wrist issues from playing guitar - maybe the watch is irritating an early onset of carpal tunnel, I sure hope not.

My only other watch is a Bulova 21 jewel automatic and it causes no issues.

I just switched to my opposite wrist (right wrist ) - WOW does this feel askward. Funny thing is that I used to always wear it on my right wrist. I'm right handed so the bracelet may get a lot more scratches from my desk. I'll give this a day and see how it goes. I'd really prefer to be able to wear my watch on my left hand, but oh well.

If you can hold out, give it some more time. It took 2 or 3 months to get used to my Sub-C as a daily wearer, probably because I wear it a little tighter than my other watches.

Was there any pain or discomfort while getting used to it?

I have worn a number of watches, including PAMs.
There was one, not the heaviest, but the way it torqued on the bracelet, the crown put a pressure point on the back of my wrist that would be painful. It was like accupuncture in reverse. Just the position of this watch, the way the bracelet fit etc made it miserable to wear this.

No pain here, on the contrary it feels awkward when I do not have my sub or DJ on.

this has never happend to me. from the sounds of it you need to do some iso-metric exercises. simple things like squeezing a raquet ball or spinning chinese medicine balls in your hand should help with any discomfort
