Rolex "Heft"...
It was almost 40 years ago when I bought my first Rolex...
I remember picking it up and thinking: "Wow, this is heavy!!!" But in a good way... You could just feel the quality...The fit and finish was of course outstanding...But the "Heft"... THAT'S what sold me...  (Fast Forward 40 years...) I went to an AD in December and looked at a DeepSea...I picked it up and thought: "Wow, this is heavy!!!" But in a good way...  |

You think the 5 digit Rolex's are heavy? I wouldnt agree with that.
The very first time I held a 5 digit I was like "WTF is wrong with the bracelet - its all tinny and flimsy feeling" LOL |

Congrats. I’ve gone the other way! My watch on a folded link bracelet only weighs 82g, and I love it.

The OP's heft surprise echoed my experience buying my first DayDate VERY many years ago. I took off my stainless DateJust and picked up the yellow gold DayDate. My first reaction was that the watch had amazing heft. I did the trade immediately. Wrote a check for $5000 and walked out the door with my new watch.
I'm happy I bought the DayDate, but wish I had kept the DateJust. |
