Over a year later, the 126710 GMT is still... heavy. Any advice?

I set out to acquire a 126710BLRO GMT because it fit most of the criteria I wanted in a GMT-Master, namely the strong lume relative to its predecessors.

I felt its heft the first time I put it in- but many people told me "eh, you'll get used to it."

Over a year later, I have not. It's heavy.

Does anyone have advice? There aren't many muscles around the wrist- and I question whether the forearm muscles will help much. A friend of mine suggested that further working out one's biceps might surprisingly help, as it's those muscles that help lift the entirety of the arm. Another friend suggested swapping the solid Jubilee link bracelet with an older bracelet that fits, perhaps an Oyster bracelet with hollow links (i.e., whatever bracelet was on the 16610, which might actually fit). I'd rather not part with the watch if I don't have to.

Thank you in advance!
