ah interesting, I never took the time to look up their weights or weigh them my self.

funny how I used to like titanium watches aiming for lighter,
but one day I fell in love with the weight of gold and got addicted to going heavier

gonna need 2 watches some day to balance out the arm work out I get

TSW
116618 Subc 296gr
118238 DD I 260gr
116528 Daytona 286gr
116688 YMII 265gr

I don't believe these weights are accurate... I can speak for the gold Daytona, my 116509 is 207 grams, my 118206 PT DD I was only 220 grams. The gold DD is about 180 grams.

I want to say about 160 grams if I remember correctly... I like heft in my watches too, so the weights interest me.

"Tools" the mod has it listed at 175 grams in a review he did a while back in 2008. Not sure of that's for the circa 08 models and the older models like from the 90's are less.
