I had a Breitling SuperOcean Abyss. It's quite weighty and sits a bit high on the wrist. Maybe there's a few gm difference but I never found the Sub LV to be uncomfortably heavy. Neither is my TT Daytona.
The height of the BSO, however, could be troublesome in slimmer sleeve cuffs, if it's really relevant to the question.

Good luck trying out but like most have said, I don't think you have a weight problem

A use for my wife's scale. 150g minus three links. Balance and bracelet make this a comfy watch.

, seriously, you'll get used to it in a few days.

Opposite for me. Love the weight. Soon after getting YG sub, tried on a OP 39. Felt very 'toyish' and gave up on that idea quickly.

if weight is your concern, the Explorer is just perfect at just 126 g besides being one the toughest watches out there. There's also the Daytona surprisingly lighter than the Sub C (around 140 g).

Thank you very much for the answers so far. Could anyone who owns a TT sub with the supercase put a picture of it on a scale that would be just great.

Tough not to feel this way after a few PM pieces.

I can't see weight being an issue.

Same thing!

I have no problem with the weight but my wife says she have, what that means.
