I agree with your assessment but totally disagree in how we translate it.
Meaning, I think not knowing the watch is on your wrist equates to ultimate comfort. I find the weight of SS so much better suited for rubber straps and in this case the oysterflex. I’ve owned both set ups and also found the 116519 to be too heavy. Because it’s lacking the counter balance of a full bracelet, I felt that the watch had to be worn super snug. That’s ok in fact a preference for many, but if I start getting hot and/or sweating, I like to wear my watch loose. I didn’t feel that was an option with the 116519. It has to remain tight on the wrist so not to flop around due to the weight of the case.
Just my opinion, and don’t get me wrong, I think the 116519 is an amazing watch (as are most Daytona’s on OF). But if I’m being picky and directly comparing it to the SS equivalent, I prefer SS. That 116519 dial though is in a league of its own!!!!
