So long as you don't have it flopping about, you'll be fine and it will feel like a part of your arm in no time!

I want to replace hers with a 36mm YG DayDate within the next 12 months so she'll need to get used to something even heavier. ... not going to be so easy this time...
Thank you so much! My DH loves this watch on me and thinks I chose really well. Good point. I will get it resized to be a bit more snug.

I have the same watch in the ladies' 29 mm size. It doesn't feel heavy, but when I wear other watches the weight is noticeable. You should get used to it.

Give it a bit more time and remember some guys here are wearing watches close to 300gms in weight!

Congrats on your watch it is a beauty! However FYI my wife wears a 31 mm DJ Everose and loves it! Her daily wearer is a S.S. Air King S.S. and she also loves wearing that watch. However the Air King is a lighter watch than the YM. Good luck on your final decision.

Aloha,
Tom

Just out of interest, why would she wear the Air King when she has an Everose DJ? My wife is very much a 1 watch person and I can't see her ever wearing anything other than her favourite all day every day... Her Bvlgari has been in the drawer for the last 4 years (since the day I got her a DJ).

Is it possible for you to weigh the DJ for me? Pretty please?
