It's a beautiful watch.  This is the first time I have had a "larger" watch.  The weight is much more than I am used to, but I honestly didn't notice it after wearing it for a while.  I love the "skeleton" look, lot's of compliments to.  It is definitely a very solid watch!!  I have no doubt it will last me a long time, at least that's what I am hoping for, you never know mechanically.  I do recommend it.
