Don't know about today but in 1970 it was my watch.

kyle L · 14 November 2009, 01:20 PM

Probably the GMT II Ice.

Singslinger · 14 November 2009, 01:20 PM

I'm guessing among the S/S models, it would be the Deepsea.

Not sure if the bling-encrusted WG GMT2c weighs more though.

Leo, I have heard the King is quite heavy... have you tried the JJ way with the butcher, what is the weight?

Colnago · 14 November 2009, 01:25 PM

I reckon on here Justin's all Gold GMT must be pretty weighty.......in close competition with the new all white Gold Sub.....they both have big cases and are made of very heavy metal....not sure what they weigh in at but I bet they are a couple of the heaviest

How many grams of gold are you sitting on, Leo??

dannyp · 14 November 2009, 01:31 PM

What about the Masterpiece? Platinum is heavier than gold, and that one has stones. Still may not outweigh the GMT ice.

Also, is a Platinum DDII out yet? That could also be a winner.

Never sit on it, too hard.

Sitting on my hat would be a bad idea.

Did I mention I really, really like my hat???

When you set stones into metal you have to remove some of the metal to make the setting......the stones weigh less than the removed metal so a "blinged-up" model will weigh less than a plain old Gold/Platinum one.....but yeah you are right though....the Platinum MP must be up there too

deserted · 14 November 2009, 02:21 PM

Well i thought the dssd would be the heaviest!

I can't imagine that's heavier than the YMII. They're roughly the same size but the YM has a more complicated movement and is gold (considerably heavier than steel).

moviefreak · 14 November 2009, 02:34 PM

If Rolex produced a YG or WG DSSD ... that would be heavy... I thought a Gold Sub would get close to the DSSD weight..

deserted · 14 November 2009, 02:35 PM

Your probably right eduardo , would be interesting to know....

JohnEaton · 14 November 2009, 02:40 PM

I think it's the Platinum Day Date II, over 270 grams I believe...

Just going off memory, I'll look it up

Now how the hell did my poor butcher get dragged into this one, ya tossers?

sturgeon123456 · 14 November 2009, 05:54 PM

Leos Midas weighs just shy of 194 Grams, quite heavy by todays standards even. I believe the only standard models (nothing crazy like the GMTIce being included) that would be heavier would be as follows

GMT II C 116718-Over 215grams
New Ceramic Sub-Over 215 grams
New Day Date 2-Not sure of weight but I would believe it to be over 200
Any mens platinum model.

The daytona, current daydate, old style sub etc.....in all gold are in the 170 - 190 gram range.

BASSETHOUNDS · 14 November 2009, 06:09 PM

Platinum DDII weighs 278 grams and is the heaviest "works" Rolex today .

mic6 · 14 November 2009, 06:41 PM

it has to be the YM II in WG

padi56 · 14 November 2009, 07:58 PM

Not that I even slightly interested how much any Rolex weighs I just wear them, but the original 1950s Deep sea special I would expect to be the heaviest Rolex.

chopperboy · 14 November 2009, 09:23 PM

New All Gold (Yellow or White) Submariners 224 grams!

rajurama · 14 November 2009, 09:28 PM

YM 2 i guess and platinum DD 2

MikeJaye · 15 November 2009, 03:09 AM

Here's mine...GMTIIC 116718 with 3 removable links taken out...yes I have girly small wrists!

MAWhite · 15 November 2009, 03:21 AM

Hi Leo,
So what's a guy in Florida doing with an old triple beam?
I haven't seen one of those since the '80's!

Best,
Mike

My wife wants your watch. I told her it was heavy and too big for her. She said she'd remove links.
