Noticeably heavier. I was very surprised by the different between the SS and WG Sub I have.

It's a few ounces heavier and in person feels like a ton more!

nice i'd never want a gold watch but as the submariner is the best watch in the word imo i'd love to try one on. Being how gold is softer than steel do you guys find it is more susceptible to hairline scratches?

Not so much on the brushed areas but def on the PCLs but that is true of SS as well. Go for the WG Subc, you only live once.

On the gold one, guess Smurf would be the one to own as white gold is less flashy

As many here will attest to...there's NOTHING like a precious metal watch...
