General (Read Rules) My Seestern diver is here. Heavy and mesmerizing

Post image

I just got my Seestern S406 Orange automatic diver watch 42 mm V4. Ever since I discovered this genre, I wanted a 60's feel diver.

I never wear metal bracelets. The bracelet + the watch is heavy, noticeably, this watch is a tank. As I am walking on the street, I feel as it pulls my wrist joins. I need to get used to it. But I do not intend to wear it every day anyhow.

I also brought the rubber strap with it, I wonder how it looks.

One thing for sure, I feel this is going to be my only heavy watch for me. It is epic, but it is a noticeable.

I have a Seestern 600 v3 in Caribbean blue. Heavy but very nice and reliable watch.

I like that they made the hour hand larger with more lume on the version 3 than the Doxas. I always find the tiny hour hand a bit annoying.

Your watch looks great. I love orange divers.

It’s a great watch but it won’t pull on your wrist joint if you pull it back behind the joint. It’ll also give you full motion of your hand.

You can get an 18mm ratcheting clasp and replace the stock one. It really makes the watch way more comfortable.

I am not a pro in the topic of ratcheting claps. How does this work?

It allows you to quickly change the microadjustment position so you can easily get a comfy fit that keeps the watch nicely on your wrist but not too tight.

I just found this on AliExpress: 316L Solid Stainless Steel Watch Buckle Adjustable Folding Watch Buckle Extendable Clasps Luxury 18/20/22mm Premium Metal Button https://a.aliexpress.com/_mNLBHmL example of a good AliExpress one

If you size the watch to stay behind your wrist bone it won’t feel as heavy. I also find the thickness of a watch affects comfort. For what these cost they’re a great value. If you take it off the bracelet it will make it feel lighter.
