I heard or read somewhere that the most comfortable casebacks are those that are flat and wide to evenly distribute the weight of the watch over ones wrist.

Thank you Steve! I´m glad you enjoyed the reading!

I feel very comfortable wearing this little watches, though its´s true they sit a big high on the wrist due to its "bubble" case back.
Anyway, they feel (and truly are) very light, as the watch is small, and the riveted bracelet or leather band is very souple and light and adds to this comfort.

The only thing which could find rather annoying, is that, for today standards, these watches are very small. And they look so!!
It was the common size of watches in the 30´s and 40´s but not for todays trend.

In my personal experience, I don´t care for very big watches myself, being user of an Explorer (1), Submariner or Gmt most of the time, 36 to 40 mm is my "standard" watch size, and feel happy with them.



Then, the bubbleback is small, and looks small, but it happens with other vintage watches of same period I own (including chronographs, which are very small). If you don´t mind about the looks, then you can feel happy with these watches, which are a real delight.

Thank you again, and receive my best cordial regards, Abel.
