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 !

Nautilus and impossible waitlist / Tokyo / Hong Kong a possibility?
So I tried a few AD in London - not a single one would take you on the waiting list for 5711 or 5712. Went into all the central London stores plus the PP salon. I phoned 5-6 in UK outside London - sames story.As I am Italian - I also contacted 5-6 AD in Italy - outside the big cities - same stories - no one takes you on the waiting list.Considering a pre-owned one - although prices are crazy high ... Visiting Hong Kong and Tokyo - wonder if it is cheaper there? Would they have better priced pre-owned? I assume impossible waitlists in those countries too?Thanks for your thoughts...M
