edwelly 0 Posted April 4, 2011 Hello all. In the past 4 weeks, I have bought a Paneria Ultimate, Paneria Black Seal, Hublot homage, U-Boat model?, and I have a Paneria homage on the way. While all are around 44-46mm in size, the weight seems to bother me more than anything. After a few hours, the watches just feel so heavy. Now I haven't worn a watch for years so I am sure my wrist is just in shock but is this so eyhig anyone else has noticed? I really want to get an Omega Seamaster with the orange dial and black rubber strap. How is the weight on it vs the other watches I have listed. Is there a watch like the ones above that might be a bit lighter. Thanks - Erik Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 83 Posted April 4, 2011 Well, the black seal certainly isn't what I'd call a heavy watch, but I guess it's just down to what you're used to. Quite a few of my watches are reasonably weighty, but it doesn't really bother me. If you think the Black Seal is heavy, you should try a Mare Nostrum - or worse, a Big Egi! Can't comment on the Omega as I don't own one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeNnY 29 Posted April 4, 2011 Greg you do have Omega ! What about Ploprof ?! edwelly you will get use to it, just wear it a little longer, and then you will not notice it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 83 Posted April 4, 2011 Greg you do have Omega ! What about Ploprof ?! From the description, it is fairly obvious that a Plop is not what the OP was thinking of buying..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greg_r 83 Posted April 4, 2011 hehe - that's how I read it. I think you got it right the first time. Your wrist is in shock Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cynikal.Mindset 1 Posted April 4, 2011 when I don't wear a watch my arm feels all light and airy, like its gonna float away Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KBH 7 Posted April 4, 2011 Sounds like you need a Rolex, The Datejusts, Daytonas, and Subs are very light, partly because of size and partly because the hollow mid'link bracelets and clasps are very light. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wombosi 0 Posted April 4, 2011 You will probably get used to the weight after a week of wearing them. If after a month the blackseal still feels heavy, you definitely have to start doing some workouts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeNnY 29 Posted April 4, 2011 If after a month the blackseal still feels heavy, you definitely have to start doing some workouts yea !!! Healthy way of life Don't worry edwelly, it is just the feeling. When I had U-BOAT homage, that brick had 320grams. I could feel it really for the first day, then suddenly it was ok Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trailboss99 996 Posted April 4, 2011 Maybe a Titanium Panerai would be more to the OP's liking? Lots lighter but still a bog watch. The Omega will be lighter mate. Col. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My wife borrowed my old DD (37mm) version a few times, and she always used to complain about the weight. Go figure... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Member X 91 Posted April 4, 2011 Titanium is the way forward if you don't want a heavy watch! Either that or go for the vintage rolex models - they are generally much lighter than you think they should be! I worry they've fallen off sometimes, they're that light lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NFleischer 4,355 Posted April 4, 2011 You're probably not used to the size/weight of watches nowadays. Col's right- Ti is lighter. Warning, some of these watches on S/S bracelets are very heavy, including Omegas. Rollies are quite light in comparison. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SirDomino 0 Posted April 4, 2011 My Invicta weighs close to a pound with all links. I wear it daily and have no issues with the weight. I thought the DSSD was a little heavy until the Invicta. lol. You'll get use to it though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
