Sorry but my dream Rolex. I couldn’t imagine not wanting it but hey people bash me on my boats and cars all the time. I don’t buy them for those people.

I actually kind of hate the phrase 1st world problems, but man, this might take the cake haha.

In all serious though, if the watch isn’t comfortable do a 3 for one trade! Problem solved.

Took me a while, but its all around weight which I got used to a lot easier than the Audemar. What I had a hard time getting used to was the RG Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph. Where 99% of it's weight is centralized on one side of your wrist. Though first world problems really, feel silly typing this as well. Lol.

The 16618 or 16808 are a lot lighter and doesn't feel like I am carrying a brick on my hand. I have the YM2 gold and it is my main watch, but I may go back to wearing my YM1 Platinum dial 16622.

Wore a 116718 everyday for a year or two and it was a breeze. If it isn’t comfy it probably isn’t right for your wrist as the weight really isn’t excessive, very comfy watch.

The 44mm Royal Oak Offshore watches in gold / platinum I think may be the male equivalent of high heels!

Tie some helium balloons to your wrist to minimize the weight.

Maybe if you buy 18k gold pants and a shirt, the extra weight will make your watch feel lighter.

FWIW the 116618 hardly feels like a brick. It is more hefty than a stainless Sub, but that doesn't make it unwearable by any means. There are other watches out there that make this one feel like a feather.

Could you imagine what this Platinum beast feels like? I’ll take one for each arm please. No need to work out lol.
