Re: Wrist/Watch size pic request?

I'm at the opposite end of the spectrum at 6'3" and 240 with a 7 1/8th wrist, and obviously the SeMP is fine with me. On the subject of WEIGHT, however, I briefly owned a titanium and gold SeMP (2296.80) and the watch did feel a bit heavy. That was before it broke and I found out that a licensed dealer had run a used gray market Omega in on me! (:< I later wound up with the Ti SeMP (2293.52), and it is great. It is noticably lighter than steel or gold, is impervious to corrosion like gold, and stronger than any other watch metal. The only down side is the "Bling" factor, and the ONLY people who will recognize this watch are the kind of people who hang out in here. Don't know if this is what you are looking for or not. I should also mention that there has been some discussion here about the ADVANTAGE to having a "stealth" model, because your average thug will only respond to something he recognizes as expensive.

Happy shopping!
