Not particularly heavy to be fair. I own several other watches which seem pretty similar, DD II Platinum, YM II WG and Panerai Bronzo 47. Naturally, when you’ve worn say a SS Daytona for a day or two and switch to one of those then there’s a few hours during which you’re aware of the heft but honestly the sensation vanishes pretty quickly and you think no more of it.

Cool. Did you win? Those who read my post knew the answer which was before he posted that video

Congrats! Amazing watch and collection

Any thoughts on 116500 Black vs White dial since you owned each? I’m between the two and also have considered the 16520 which you also have.

I wore my black 11 Series Daytona more frequently since it seemed to match my dress better but I did prefer the visual aesthetics of the white dial. You will note I kept my Zenith’s while trading the 11’s. That’s because I prefer the aesthetics of the new 12. Here’s my in depth thread on that https://www.rolexforums.com/showthre...1#post13454862

Coming soon! Just awaiting a 1.5 link from Patek NY to get a perfect (and probably too picky) fit

They shipped yesterday and Fedex shows delivery Monday
