very small, 16,5cm. rather flat i suppose. strangely enough i can pull off a 43mm SD43...
but again, sincere congrats to the OP, the 5980R is a fantastic reference. i would have gone for it as well if i didn't have that issue with the nautilus buckle. that is why i went with the 59800AR after all.

I'd say that both straps feel neutral at this point, they probably need some time to break in. As far as top heavy goes, I'm used to wearing top heavy watches (PM on rubber), so the weight never bothers me. I am looking at the RubberB and thinking about adding a rubber strap to go with it. somehow, I just love the feel of rubber. LOL
