Heaviest Rolex
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.

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

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

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

the DDII is Mike's and I think a few links out the Platona is the heavy weight champ by a few grams |

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?

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)
