How do you find the weight of the WG on your wrist?

I LOVE the weight of the WG on my wrist.

IMHO, WG Daytona BLOWS the SS Daytona away in terms of how it feels and wears...
I don't think it's too heavy, it actually feels BETTER than the SS and "just right" on the wrist.

Dominic, that is beautiful!!!! I agree with you about how the WG feels on the wrist. Where did you pick up the dials? How will you change them? I have the black dial but love the other two as well and occasionally swapping would be nice.

Wow...... Now that's a watch.... and those dials, that Meteor dial would be on pretty fast.... incredible collection of dials. On second thought, you have all the time in the world to enjoy each dial.

Totally concur on the tactile feel of gold on the wrist... nothing comes close and the weight is perfect.

Great investment. I've been looking at the WG Daytona's, but would have to give up quite a bit a stainless to make it happen. I'm looking in that direction.

Dominic, DUDE that watch is hot. The WG daytona with charcoal/arabic dial is my fave. The silver is a close second. And you have both! DUDE! The WG is absolutely brilliant to look at. Just has a depth of shine that is so much nicer than SS, and the weight is AWESOME. Congrats x 3.
