Can someone please help me....what is the weight of the DD40? I searched and couldn't find it.

Looking at my second PM and curious how it compares in weight to the Smurf.

Thank you!

Heavy. Real heavy. At least the gold ones are.

This is my father's on my wrist

This is my 14060M

It's a substantial piece. I wore the two right around the same time and noticed a marked increase in weight with the DD40. I can't give you exact specs, but maybe what i can do is weigh both when I get home. The Smurf should be a touch more than my 14060M

I was blown away by how heavy it was for such a small watch.

Yup. Same reaction here. One of the posters above said it's lighter than a Smurf. I don't mean to nitpick but I can't imagine that. Full disclosure, I've never donned a Smurf. However, I literally wore it within seconds of removing my 14060M. It's definitely heavier than the 14060M.

Your SS Sub ND is WAY lighter than an 18 KT SubC. The Smurf is WG, btw.

Never thought I liked gold/champagne dials but boy that looks good.

I imagine they weigh 10 grams less than the DD2s so around 200-10 on a 7 inch wrist.

My guess is it's a little lighter than the Smurf. I have a RG DDII and a YG SubC. The YG SubC is slightly heavier than the DDII. I don't know the exact weight. I can tell you that after wearing my Platona, all of my gold Rolexes seem like SS and my SS ones seem like TI!

propedderkustom · 6 August 2016, 12:33 AM

It isn't heavy enough to consider/worry about. Once you wear it for a day or two you'll forget you have it on. The only watch I have that is noticeably heavy is my rose gold AP Royal Oak Offshore on full rose gold bracelet. Weights probably 1.5-2x more than the DD40 or DD2.

Danny83 · 6 August 2016, 12:35 AM

About 210grams

Etschell · 6 August 2016, 01:27 AM

wait which DD the 40 or the 36? and which model is it. the 36 differs vastly between 1803/18038/18238/118238...

DocHorton · 6 August 2016, 02:13 AM

I meant the DD40, specifically the WG.

Thanks for the replies!

locutus49 · 6 August 2016, 02:52 AM

Once you wear it a while you won't even notice the weight.

Lordofrolex · 6 August 2016, 02:59 AM

I love the weight on gold watches. Makes me feel tony Montana. Already have a gold DD and saving for a YG sub.

sechsgang · 6 August 2016, 03:04 AM

Has to be something around 205-220 grams...tried one on this morning and its got a FANTASTIC weight to it. Not too heavy, definitely not too light. Makes the SS pieces seem too light/cheap.
