BTW - Awesome watches/picture
i bought the rose gold and wore it to vegas.. after 2 days i had a massive bruise on the back of my hand and was forced to wear the watch on the other wrist because it hurt..

tantalum is slightly lighter only because the clasp is steel and not tantalum.. the gold has a gold clasp ofcourse.. rose rubberclad watch head i would say is 2x the regular steel.. its a brick.... its even got solid gold bezel under the rubber!

Yikes that does sound HEAVY.... "Brusied wrist!" , maybe even impractical?

I will either have to talk an AP AD into letting me try on another Rubberclad on top of mine or simply put all 3 of my watches on to get a REAL idea I will send a picture if I ever do.

One great thing about the GMT IIc and EXP II is that they feel awesome on the wrist with no such worries but then again the SS ROO rubberclad feels comfortable too.
