Doesn't feel bad at all.
Surprisingly it feels quite nice. My wrists aren't the smallest so it doesn't feel too large at all. Having said that, I generally wear my watches a bit looser than what most other people do. For a 43mm it does look large in comparison to others.
My first Roger Dubuis, a Sympathie Sport RD14
Being my first post I thought I should share a couple of pics. Yesterday I picked up a Sympathie Sport that was traded back in to the original AD it was purchased from. I have my sights set on picking up an Easy Diver chronograph with the champagne dial a...
Roger Dubuis Sympathie Sport RD14 - A nice way to introduce yourself
Thank you for share. We all enjoy this hobby/obsession/cult and are very excited to have you among us. Now we are going to want to learn more. Looking forward to your participation. Bill
We find here the roots of the Easy Diver...
Thanks a lot for the nice pics of a rarely seen watch! And welcome on PuristSPro! Fx
Love it; Swan Neck in a Sports Watch
It's always nice to see a delicate swan neck regulator on a robust and sporty watch! Congrats!
Thanks much for the welcome!!!
Question for those that are familiar with the older RD line-up. Which watch do you think will hold up better over time in regards to aesthetics? This Sympathie model or an Easy Diver of around the same time period? I'm considering picking up a Diver, but ...
I'd go with hand-wound chronograph...
as the movement - like you said - is legendary, regardless whether in-house or not. I consider it a must-have for all chronograph lovers. In terms of long term aesthetic appeal I would be cautious in respect to salmon dials. They seemed to be fashionable ...
While I do agree
that the lemania based chronograph is very desirable, I personally think this classic movement is better suited for the more traditionalist sympathie case as opposed to the easy diver case. Even better if you can find one w/ sympathie shaped crystal. ...
Think you made the right choice
of picking the Sympathie Sport. It's a very rare breed and they were only produced for a short period of time before the line fully transitioned to the Excalibur line. I love mine... ...
Jester that is a stunner!
I have a question for you. My case shows a seam around it almost entirely. Is it visible on your case as well? ...
Sympathies sport
Do you know when they stopped making this watch. Saw a new one for sale recently, but must be several years old? Thank you for your advise.
End of production
Dear Atlantajuice, this model was stopped 2 years ago, end 2012. I purchased mine directly in Roger Dubuis Boutique in Geneve and my "Poinçon de Geneve" certificate is dated October 2012.
Wow! What a beauty!
Looks great on your wrist. Thanks for sharing the pictures! How does it feel compared to other watches?

Awesome watch.
Do you know how old the watch is? I saw a new one for sale, but makes me wonder. Im looking to pick up my first RD, love the brand. it is spectacular - congratulations.
I am looking at same
And it is fantastic. It's new, although manufactured several years ago. Can you say what you paid? I just don't know how to determine what a limited piece like this should cost. Thanks- appreciate it.
200% agreement...
Hey, I fully validate your choice, I made the same 2 years ago for my first "real" timepiece :) ...
