Difference in TT Sub bracelet weights!

Anyone here know the difference in weight between the new TT Sub bracelets and say the 2008 version? Since they are solid links now I wondered if it was a huge difference? I have yet to make it down to the dealer in Cincinnati (which there aren't many) to try one one...

Thanks, Jim

TT bracelets didn't go solid until very recently. The "solid" center links still aren't really solid. They are now machine cut, but the centers are still drilled with holes and so the only real difference is a couple of thin webs inside. That doesn't amount to much weight overall.

Thanks for the info..... I really like the older champagne serti dials and found a 2008 with one..... Just didn't know if it was worth getting a 2014 for that purpose.... I wish the 2014 had a champagne or slate serti dial
