Ok so the heaviest is obviously one of the platinum models, I wouls say the DDII platinum or the Daytona platinum. Do they both weigh the same? Or is one heavier than the other... I tried on the platinum Daytona and the DDII the other day for some reason the Daytona felt heavier.. Don't know if that's actually the case. Pictures with a weight scale would be great.

I have tried both on and by feel, I agree with you. The heavier one seems to be the Daytona.

kilyung · 13 December 2014, 11:54 PM

Daytona is heavier by a few grams.

That's interesting as I would of expected it to be the DD.

Must admit when I tried on the Daytona it felt great, the heft to it made it quite special

Yeah surprising but seems to be Daytona. Luckily for me and my wallet at well over 250grams these are just too heavy for me.

cedargrove · 14 December 2014, 12:23 AM

I would have thought the gold or platinum YMII was the heaviest.

SC11 · 14 December 2014, 12:26 AM

Or not a production model but a few were made I bet the Deepsea Challenge isn't a light weight!

Lgear080 · 14 December 2014, 02:44 AM

Gold skydweller on bracelet is also hefty

tkerrmd · 14 December 2014, 03:07 AM

the DDII is Mike's and I think a few links out

the Platona is the heavy weight champ by a few grams

PerioBear · 14 December 2014, 03:20 AM

I wonder how much of the weight difference between the platona and platinum DD 2 has to do the the different bracelets - oyster versus president?

Tom does not only race Porsches but closes threads as well

In addition to being heavier, the Platona looks nicer as well than the DDII in my opinion.

So a few links are out on the DDII but what about the daytona? They shud have equal number of links out for accurate comparison

Thats very interesting ... How come than the gold DDII weighs more than the gold Daytona? Shouldn't it be the same case in gold as well than? (Daytonabeing heavier than DDII)
