Tried on the new 42mm all gold 18kpg offshore today... It is VERY heavy and just by memory and just by "feel" I do say it is heavier than my Rolex DDII!! I am kidding p, it is seriously heavy!! For those who like heavy watches, this is it!

How can this be? .... The AP feels intensely heavy and dense.

This is in the Singapore AP boutique. This particular watch I tried on is NOT for sale since a it is a demo only. They do start taking order for a new one delivery shouldn't be too long if anyone interested. Forgotten about the retail price, but my best price is less than SGD80k (around USD63k)... Good luck and happy hunting!

I tried this watch on today and was told it is actually lighter then its predecessor, the new bracelet is more tapered. Too heavy for me but a great watch.

I'm not surprised, the old ROO was around 230 grams, the DD2 is similar to this I think depending on links, but as it is top heavy it may feel heavier on the wrist.

the clasp on the new bracelet is MUCH better than the older one

Neil.. The DDII i did the comparison to is the PT950 DDII.. My DDII (PT950) already around 280g and I suspect the AP ROO 18KPG could tip the scale closer to or even over 300g!

Ah right, you meant the full gold, then yes it would be around 300g and I suspect more then the Plat DD2
