On the topic of changing straps, it really helps if your watch has drilled lugs, really only takes a minute or two.

My colleague also just bought this watch.

Very nice watch but the quality of the SS bracelet, sadly, doesn't match it's price

Aiya, PP eat name only lah. Diamond pwn steel...

yeah quite true... My 5167 really looks like normal $200 watch si bei stealth. Wear close to 1 month nobody notice.... Kinda miss the AP royal Oak bling bling bracelet. However the PP is the most comfortable watch to date.. even better then Rolex submariner oyster bracelet.... The watch so thin and light weight like part of yr body that i feel other watch heavy. And also once u get to Patek level u enter their exclusive club got free bi annual magazine .:D

Ya, the PP bracelet is super comfy. Recently I brought my Rolex for a 2 week trip and for 2 weeks, I kept thinking how clunky and heavy the Rolex is compared with the PP.

The magazine makes for a good computer monitor riser, haha. I actually use it to make my monitor the perfect height...

My brother said to me "What watch is that? Seiko ah?"

Me "Yup!"

Random question.

Do you guys prefer heavy or light watches?

I personally prefer the former. Feels great wearing a solid piece on the hand.

Wanted to get the Pelagos, but I just did not like the lightweight feel of it. I know it's supposed to be a tools watch and all but so is the Submariner, or at least the initial Submariners before the blingy ceramic bezels came along.

Light for me. The Nautilus is very comfortable with metal bracelet. Sort of molds to your wrist size. Most of my stuff are dressy...so it's not supposed to take attention.

Rolex is the heaviest I'd go for now....even a full gold one. The Royal Oak is surprisingly not that heavy

As for other metals like titanium, platinum. Yah - too light doesn't feel premium either?

U-Boat size too big and heavy for my liking

Heavy watches are fine when the wear time is less than 10 hours.

But on situations such as long haul flights where you wear the watch for 20 hours or more, heavy watches drive me nuts.

Tried it before, didn't feel that it was exceptionally light for me to look away from it. But the color of the metal didn't speak to me along with too much text on face. If I dun dive, probably pick up a black bay or even 2 if I go pre own haha for 2 color way
