: i like the watch but it seems so big, i
: wouldn't wear it as a daily watch, when do
: you wear your 125 ?
I did for an extended period of time when I was working on/writing my article on the Speedmaster 125 on behalf for RJ Broer for a Dutch watch publication. I remember that I wore it continiously (save when I was in the shower) for 2-3 weeks straight. One does after a time get used to the weight, but you never doubt that you are wearing it. In other words, it's not so sheer that it feels like you're not wearing a watch, LOL!
That said, it's not a terribly comfortable watch to wear, nor is it ever going to win awards for performance to weight ratio. Which might explain why there seemingly is a steady stream of them available for purchase on line.
Nowadays, my 125 get's pulled out of storage and put on my wrist when I'm in my "lets wear something I haven't worn in a while" moods, and of course there is a lot of competition for my wrist time.
