In Response To: Yes, it will fit >>> ()

While it is heavy (heavier than a Rolex Sub) a few things contribute to it being a very confortable watch to wear.

First, the watch is a bit wider and a bit flatter than a sub so the weight is distributed over a wider area.

Second the wave pattern on the back of the watch helps prevent the seamaster from sliding around as much as a smooth backed watch.

Third, the weight of the bracelet is much greater than a Sub so it better balances the weight of the watch. I believe you are more likely to see Subs flopping around on a wrist than a Seamaster.

With regard to sizing it, I don't think you'll have any trouble removing enough links. You'll should try it on to see if its relatively large size overwhelms you.

: But remember, the full size Seamaster is a big
: and heavy watch. Have you actually tried one
: on? When you're looking, also look at the
: mid-size.
