Rolex 16622 platinum?

So, I’ve been scouring these forms, it seems like a pretty agreed-upon consensus that the 116622 has a full platinum bezel and bezel insert, but the 16622 definitely still has the full platinum bezel insert, but the bezel is up for debate. Somebody weighed a 16622 at 10 g, and also a submariner bezel at 4 g. I don’t think the insert would make that much of a difference, but it could.
I only sought suggested one time, recently, that somebody way the 116622 versus the 16622 bezels. Since we know what the 116622 is, they should definitively tell us what the 16622 is.
Does anybody have access to both that would be willing to do an experiment? LOL. Or even at least Chester 116622, if the bezel weighs more than 10 g, then we know that the 16622 is just a platinum bezel insert, nothing more. If it was equal to 10 g, then we know that the 16622 bezel is full platinum as well as the insert.
