In Response To: Seamaster or not? ()

: Hi everyone!

: After owning a Rolex GMT II for three weeks I'm
: considering flipping it because I can't get
: the damn thing comfortable on my wrist. The
: bracelet's either too tight or too loose
: depending on skin temperature, irrespective
: of bracelet fine tuning! I don't really want
: to modify the bracelet hence my question...

: So, I'm thinking of a Seamaster, probably a
: diver's chronometer but wondered if the 41mm
: case is a little too big for my
: small(ish!!!)6.5" wrist? I've been
: wearing a 40mm TAG for years but the
: Seamaster bracelet's SEL's look as if they
: increase the size considerably. I haven't
: had a chance to try one on yet so any views
: would be gratefully received.

: Thanks in advance.

I was a little concered when purchasing the seamaster diver chronometer due to its 41mm size and its thickness. I had tried the watch on for a few moments at the store and it was fine but I was still concerened how it would wear day in and day out. After owning the watch for three months now I have no complaints whatsoever. The bracelet is comfortable and does not pull on my skin or hair. The watch wears much smaller than I anticipated. It really has been fantastic watch to own. I hope this helps.
