Girard Perregaux

In my experience the struggle with the WW TC is that the lug holes are much too close to the case…

 

It does not let you use thick straps. That the spring bars need to be curved does not help.
My own WW TC is in titanium on a rubber GP strap, thus do not have an issue with it being top heavy, but my Foudroyante in steel is heavy and uses the same size strap. The OEM GP leather straps have a lot of taper which makes a pinch point at the inside of the wrist where the buckle sits. I have found that using a third party 21mm strap that is longer in length (so that it is not on the last hole) and that only tapers to 20mm at the buckle helps immensely with making the watch comfortable to wear.
