Weight of 18k gold Daytona?

Anyone know the weight of a new model 116505 or similar Daytona? I just weighed my 18k GMT2-C and it is 211 grams and my big steel Cartier chrono is 175 grams. I am hoping the Daytona weighs at least as much as the GMT.

Thanks.

I believe the 116528 comes in at just over 192g as the case has less heft than the 116718.

Another member weighed his 116718 and it came in at 212g. Mine and Geoff's (on another forum) weighed a hefty 231g with the spare link still in the box. Strange that !

My Daytona is currently on a lightweight gold plated buckle / aftermarket strap so it would weigh another 20g or so.





Lightweight 14060m
