My 5135p and my 7" wrist...........>
I concur with all that whilst the strap is still new and stiff the watch does not feel "right" on your wrist.
I mention that my 5135 is Platinum because being even heavier it was difficult to become used to wearing at first as it would swing round my wrist because it would not sit flat due to the stiffness of the strap. I was fortunate to have Milos' advice that this is a temporary problem which will only last a couple of weeks if you wear it daily.
I can now say that my absolute favorite PP sits perfectly and feels just right. I note that some posters compare the size to Panerai. I really enjoy larger watches but found Panerai too big and uncomfortable, but the 5135 is sublime!
Good luck with your project.

I think it matters...
I have a Panerai, but I thought the 5135 was too long (lug to lug) for my 6.75" wrist. The lugs actually hung over the sides. I think it's one of the nicest watches out there, but unfortunately I can't wear it.
Just measured: 44mm Panerai measures lug-to-lug 54mm...
A 44mm Panerai measures lug-to-lug 54mm!!! Since I wear Panerai a lot, the 5135 should really be now problem. When I tried it on in a shop, it must have been that the strap was still quite stiff and that's why it didn't feel completely comfortable. Thanks...
