Heaviest rolex?

[brandrea]

The Daytona in Platinum is the heaviest at around 282gms.

My DBlue is only 212

I held a customer's platinum Day-Date II once. It was monster.

ahaha best comment of the day

I can't remember anyone weighing an iced out Rolex here so would be interesting, I've never held one in my hands so I don't have any empirical views either.

There is for me something nice about the weight. I don't have to have a heavy watch - my new AP Chrono RG on rubber strap isn't heavy and I'm still contemplating getting an AP 44Ti, although that's looking less likely, but there is something nice picking up a weighty watch. And its not to do with its value. When worn I can truly say I don't notice the difference between the YM and AP - i.e. I'm not aware that I'm wearing a heavier watch.

Cheers Chris, so around 255-260g fully loaded. Our RG AP is around 240g so it's a pretty heavy beast still... at least for me.

Platona is quite heavy. Not sure if it's the heaviest though

that really surprised me. Daytona is not a big watch. So Platinum is much heavier than stainless?

[watchwatcher]

Looks like it's the Platona.

As for myself, I would probably need to lift some weights to be able to carry around 280g all day.

[sechsgang]

I really would have thought it would have been the 41mm day date in platinum honestly, guess those oyster links really make up for it with the platona.

[PerioBear]

How much does the ceramic bezel weigh on the Platona?

[lecorsaire]

Platinum is the heaviest metal they use. Gold is much heavier than SS but when you put on a platinum Rolex you can really feel the difference. I would guess Platona or the Platinum DD2s 218206 with diamond dials. Even though the DD2 is a bigger watch, the Oyster bracelet probably weighs more than the President. Tough call. Maybe someone who has both can chime in.

Anyone weigh a gold Sub with all 12 links?

A platinum Daytona weighs much more than a gold Daytona (about 85 grams heavier)

My Platona makes my YG SubC seem like it's yellow painted steel. It makes my SS YM seem like it's titanium.

The Platona is a beast, but it's comfortable. Like some else stated, the PT Nautilus is almost as heavy as a Platona. Now that's impressive for such a smaller watch, caparatively speaking.

Actually some of those are my pics as well.

To set the record straight, the platinum Daytona is heavier than the YG YM2 and Pt DDII.

I always thought my Steinhart Ocean 1 was heavy (280'ish grams I want to say), but the BLNR honestly feels just as heavy. Doesn't matter after 2-3 days on the wrist, you miss it when it's not there.

72 mm would be similar to a small wall clock on the wrist

[henry333]

Those photo surprised me... I would think a pt dd2 would be heavier then a platona .
I don't have one but platona is the heaviest Rolex I handle so far. I was so surprised of the weight

[peterpl]

RG Skydweller in bracelet is also up there.

I think fully loaded it hits 225-30g. Mine with 3 out is 215g.

[zama]

Platinum Daytona is the heaviest but this one is not far of it and yet it looks so dainty. Certainly my heaviest, heavier than Gold Daytona. Compared it one night to a DD2 platinum and we could not really feel much in it.

[Psmith]

I can't think of an object measured in grams and millimeters as being 'heavy' or 'big'.

That said, I like a bit of heft in a sporty watch - all part of the experience, for me.

[Bigblu10]

He who dies wearing the heaviest watch wins!

[Buckeye4life]

I was surprised at how heavy the milgauss felt at first. But it comes in at a measly 157 grams. DD2 is 278 and the Platona is 286, per a quick google search.

Weight hasn't been a significant factor for me as I get used to it after a while.

I actually had the opportunity to try on the GMT-Master Ice and it surprisingly was very light in weight. The diamonds took the place of a lot of the 18k white gold. It was probably 25% lighter than a non-diamond gold GMT.

[ttsisk]

I think that the Deepsea could be the heaviest.
