Looks can be deceiving....
Hard to believe the DD outweighs the deepsea. But to my untrained hands it does. The weight of platinum is truly something......

IMO those are two of the coolest pieces Rolex makes- the DD for obvious reasons, and the Deepsea because it's an engineering marvel.
Very nice |

Had held platinum 36 mm DD on my hand at AD and it is significantly heavier than my 18239; the Platona should be trully a brick! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I owned the same dial of platinum DD before and it is really heavy and I don’t always wear it. Beautiful glacier blue dial and it looks really nice on the wrist if you have smaller wrist size.

Interesting. By eye I never would've thought that the DS was the lightest of the two.

Those are beauts. Congrats. I tried the JC on my wrist and it was huge and heavy I thought. I am surprised as well that the PDD weighs more.
