It would have to be at least slightly heavier, right?
Its the same case with more metal in the bracelet? |

Slightly slimmer case but broader bracelet. Gain or loose weight I don't know

The crystal on this watch is so thick. Looks like a magnifying glass. What a cool beast of a timepiece!

Im guessing its slightly heavier. Although they trimmed the lugs a bit the bracelet is now wider than the old reference.

the price is definitely heavier! haha. around my are the Greys are selling it for 24,500 Canadian. I remember the day I walked into my AD and picked up the previous model out of the display case and got a 12% discount on it. just a short year and a half ago yet now that feels so so so long ago.

The metal taken out between the lugs is for all intents and purposes, displaced by the wider SELs. The bracelet is wider right around the entire circumference including the clasp. So it follows that the watch as a package must be heavier. |

Unless they've hollowed out some of the Mid-case internals or Bracelet links it must be heavier. I can't imagine they could touch the case by hollowing it out a bit because it's for all intents and purposes, stripped down to its structural bare minimum. |

Apparently the same weight unless the three missing links account for 4g on the 126660.
The 210g pictured below is the 116660. https://www.minus4plus6.com/deepsea.php |
