Looking at them, they seem to be the most uncomfortable hunks of metal you could strap on your wrist. Tried one on (new version) at the Omega Boutique in NYC and was very surprised at how well it fit and felt.
......and if you happened to be chased by a mad dog... this watch could be used as weapon to throw at its head. It will suffer temporer concusion.......guaranteed . I've tried modern version, seriously chunky and solid. It makes Rolex Sea dweller like dress watch.
