Is the 1200m Ploprof wearable...

on 6.5 inch wrists ? I tried it on once (was wearing my behemoth OS 300m diver on the day) at my AD and though it was heavy it definitely was not too large lug to lug or so...it's thick though .

I have had my share of large watches, however have preferred 40-42mm lately. This might be changing slightly again...as in these last few weeks I've been considering the SBDB001 600m Seiko (large motha***). Normally I am a bit impulsive and am actually quite amazed at myself that I didn't order a new SBDB001 from Japan yet !

However I would like to consider all alternatives and also wait for Basel (I'll do my best ....) as I'd like to see the new releases from Seiko, Omega and Rolex.

So what can you tell me about the ploprof? Is it wearable on my 6.5inch wrists...also what would the weight on isofrane (head only) be please?

Please give me your opinions regarding the watch and post many pics if you have them !

It is wearable.

Or try the 600m Ploprof?

Thanks for reply. No 'vintage' is not my thing, especially at the prices they are fetching...all my watches will have to grow vintage with me

Its very wearable. It helps that the crown is the "wrong" way. Fits under my shirtcuff

I think the (relatively) short lug-to-lug size makes it wearable for 6.5" wrist

What didn't sold me one was the fact that its "not easy" to use the timing bezel with the watch on the wrist (you need to press the lock button, then turn the bezel).

I still like the watch, maybe some day ...

Its easy for me to turn the bezel.

I use the middle finger to press down the button, and turn the bezel with the forefinger and thumb
