My Platinum DD is around 260g or so and it is as heavy as I would ever want to go..... This is crazy and I think would be uncomfortable.

I think you would have to swap wrists every day or after a month one arm would be really strong and the other would be weak...

Ok the PP grand master chime beats it being twice as heavy but this is nuts as the PP isn't meant to be worn but admired...
