We all know that case thickness wise, the DSSD kicks ass ... what about weight wise? Which wrist watch can make weaing the DSSD feel as though it was a sub or an Explorer?

Platinum Day-Date II - wear that bad boy for a week, and you'll have biceps the size of a body builder

the Ploprof 1200m on mesh is pretty heavy too, but more balanced than the DSSD...

Yea, but the Ploprof 1200m looks like a crescent wrench on a piece of chain link fence

Plenty of watches that are heavier, yes. Especially those that are 42-46mm in precious metals.

My YM II was much heavier than my DSSD

Lots of them, e.g. the all the larger ss Breitlings on ss bands, larger Panerais, IWCs etc. The DSSD isn't that big and heavy for the industry, it is just big and heavy for being a Rolex.

This old Breitling of mine was a considerable wrist presence at 266.9 grams of solid 18kt..

I don't believe you Chris, send one to me so i can check for myself. Only joking mate. Has anyone compiled a list of all the models with their weights,it would be interesting to compare.

WG Sub clocks in at about 225 gms, about 1/2 pound!

That WG YM2 I tried on last week had some weight to it . Would't that be heavier then the Plat. DD2 ?
