Weighing in at 149.5 grams and 40 mm wide

Is the Sub the perfect balance between weight and size? 149.5 grams and 40 mm. I wonder how this compares to other all time favs.

Steel daytona is around 140g which is very comfortable.

I weighed my 16700 yesterday and it was 120 grams. About the same weight as my Polar 16570. I do have 6.5" wrists so I may have less links than the other poster but that's still quite a discrepancy.

Got curious since the Tudor GMT felt so much heavier than my BLNR so got the scales out
