Weight & power reserve

I like a lot Pam and reading on this forum I understood that a 44 mm match with my 6.8 wrist.
Now the question is how heavy is PAM 00005 because I'm afraid to be unconfortable, and the power reserve is realy 56 hours?

plus or minus, yes you get close to the full 56 hours.
Wind them everyother day & you are good to go.
The straps makes all the difference in comfort. IMO thicker = more comfort, plus you can get a custom strap with the holes exactly where you like them.

Strap = super comfy over a bracelet. Power reserve is correct. If you are used to bracelets, this thing will seem like a feather.

Well, a good alternative to the 0005 would be a 177, or a older discontiued 118.

With both the 177 and 118, you get a Titanium Case, which will be lighter and also IMHO wears more comfortable in hot weather.

Not too much on the weight. The autos are thicker however, so yeah, I guess they'll be heavier, but more top heavy as opposed to the actual weight.

The auto's will be thicker and sit higher, making them feel heavier, but with a proper fitting strap, it shouldn't matter.
