Spara Dritto Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 (edited) Does anyone else find that their wrist sweats a lot when wearing bigger watches with metal linked straps like the seamaster? I have also got a very, very slim light watch that never, and I mean never makes me sweat. Its not tight around my wrist, but when Im wearing it the watch is pretty heave and kinda sits in one place. Do you have this problem? Also Im looking for a new strap something like this http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=black+watch+strap+with+red+sticching&view=detail&id=6C68664B24C2387850FB463198FF98D1B00A98DF&FORM=IDFRIR Have any of you got one ?

libs Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 With my Seamaster or £15 Casio I hate the feeling for the first hour, sweaty wrist etc as you have mentioned. But as soon as its been on a while it feels stranger to take it off.. Must really bother you to be considering replacing the strap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spara Dritto Posted July 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 It does! Considering the strap alone is around the £500.00 mark lol. I might try one of these http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=rolex+watch+strap&view=detail&id=4FBC49D1F90A1BAEB3C624B3E2E01AF89282222C&first=121&FORM=IDFRIR will stop the watch sticking to my wrist.. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 No mate. My £30 casio is just as sweaty. I took my Rolex back just to prove a point. £500 for a strap? are you mad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive got a 24mm ostrich leather strap on my Luminor. I had it made by a guy in canada on ebay its brilliant. Cant say I notice it sweating when I wear it. Do a ebay search for panerai strap and they should come up. And before you ask No the watch isnt a fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalconFN Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 I've just replaced my Seiko automatic divers watch strap with a black 'NATO' strap. Very comfortable and pretty much sweat free and looks great on a big classic watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloke Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 Be careful of cheap straps, make sure you keep the original spring bars. The cheap replacement ones often break and your watch is gone if you don't notice. +1 for the proper NATO strap with sewn joints, not the heat -welded rubbish. At least with a NATO strap, if one spring bar breaks, your watch stays attached to the strap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksdad Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 I've got a very nice stainless Fila Chronograph that I got in the Argos sale Trouble I have is it hurts my skinny wrist, especially when I'm driving and keep my paw on the gear lever!
