Funny, I just tried on an aluminum centigraphe from FP Journe...I think it’s like 50 grams including the bracelet. I guess the exact opposite of the 116619

the 15202 feels very thin and slight. it is beautiful and fits my 6.5 or so inch wrist v well. the 116619lb has been my daily since january pretty much (i was going to rotate but that has not happened).

two totally different watches i guess. the 116619lb is very heavy (228 grams all links). the glidelock is essential and comfort is great.

two great watches. i don't see how you could go wrong. i would struggle as to which to choose. the thing about the 116619lb is:
- robust
- blue dial is utterly beguiling. it's liquid wet looking gloss. very beautiful.
- 116619lb is an unusually beautiful/practical pm watch imo
- 15202 2 hands is rough imo
- 15202 is far more elegant than 116619.
- some people would say 116619 is far more "modern"

the bezel on subC is very useful. as is the date.

Thanks, I appreciate the input
