Heaviest watch?

I tried one of these on this afternoon:-



God only knows why it's so heavy...really uncomfortably so.

Shame really

If you thought THAT was heavy, why not try an early 50s attempt by Rolex at a DeepSea - even chunkier than the new one (and that takes some doing)

I think your perception of what is too heavy depends on your day to day watch. Before I got into proper watches I always wore Casios, which made my Tag Indy 500 feel like it weighed a ton when I first got it. One of my everyday watches is a Ball Engineer Master II Diver which is very heavy but I'm so used to it now that I hardly notice it. My Sinn UX is heavier still, noticeably so, but not so much as to prove uncomfortable though to someone used to light watches I wager it would be ridiculously heavy.

Quite like heavy watches. When a chav demands you hand it over, you hit him with it and run.

lol I recon you could easily take someone out with a sea dweller

When I first got it, it felt massive & weighed a ton.. now I feel undressed without it on.

175g 145g

Thats the difference between an omega PO 42mm, and the Rolex Sea dweller, when I first tried n my omega I thought it was very heavy. Used to it now.

I suppose I could buy a £5 Casio and wear an ankle weight on my left arm.

[okgo]

You'd look like a bell end though.

[sparkyhx]

isnt the enzo mechana on bracelet about 250g

[okgo]

I should think that this Omega in the 45mm guise is nearly 200 G

[Civpilot]

I've got a full steel Oakley GMT thats 236g. Which is pretty heavy I guess.

Just went and weighed two of my watches - my Ball Diver is 200g while my Sinn UX is 210g. According to the Oris website, the Oris Small Second Date that the OP tried on is 250g. Must say I really like the look of it, but 47mm... that's big.

Thank you for the implication that I currently don't look like a bell end.

Ball Diver

Sorry. I am such a child at times.

The brietling montbrilliant legend I tried on was about 280g I think. That seemed like it was pushing the limits of what was comfortable.

One has to wonder why they produce wrist watches which go much deeper than 300 msw, man as yet cannot dive deeper than that, and only a few even do that in the deep oil fields off Brazil as far as I know.

All around the UK, deepest commercial diving is around the 200 msw,

My PO doesn't seem heavy, probably because the rubber strap does a good supporting job whereas my Milgauss (SS bracelet) does!

[okgo]

The PO strap is pretty heavy..

My understanding is it is static pressure hence why you can't swim in a 3atm watch. The act of moving around increases the pressure of the water on the case.

They say don't swim in anything under 100m - so I don't know what they recomend for true 200/300m diving?

I was going to suggest one of these as heavy but that Rolex really takes the cake.
