What is the heaviest Rolex?

While wearing my 34mm gold Danos, thinking that it has some heft, looked up the heaviest Rolex.

You gotta be strong to make these a daily wearer. My limit is about 80 grams.

There may be something heavier, but the PT Daytona is definitely heavy, and noticeable when you first put it on. But after a few minutes you really don’t notice the weight.

Wow, the platinum Daytona weighs more than the deep sea? Now i feel ok not being able to afford it. The weight on the deep sea too hefty for me.

Platinum is Heaaavvvyyy. I tried on a DD in Pt. Maybe you get used to it. I'd like to get used to it... Love the look of Pt. But over half a pound for watch seems a bit excessive.

I’ve tried on a Platona when it was readily available several years ago and it was HEAVY.

The DSSD is delicious heavy if that’s your thing. I can’t afford the nice stuff.

The platinum Day Date 2 is probably the heaviest, no?

Ok, this is funny. I feel embarrassed to know the reference, but I digress.

you do get used to it. The plat DD is beautifully well balanced. Actually sits better than my YG SkyDweller on OF.
