Question for 300 M Chronograph Diver owners *LINK*

I'm thinking of getting a 300 M Chronograph Diver.

I tried the normal Bond watch but the teeth in the crown dug into the back of my palm.

The 300 M Chronograph Diver has more distance being taller and does not hit the back of the Palm.

I also like the little wheels and the more complex look.

Now I've been wearing a 5 ounce Swiss Army VIP Odissey and I wear it very comfortably. I do not even feel it on.

But the Omega will weigh 7 ounces.

SO the question to you owners is:

Is the watch proud and great? Or is it like a brick that weighs you down. Does it look too tall on your hand or just too good looking?

I am buying it soon so please comment. I thought of the Titanium model (not current but still out there.) I don't like the look of Titanium and have a Seiko and it stains so easily even with water.

I'm not diving I don't even wear it to the shower.
