Happy new year everyone, I have a little challenge for you below.
Happy new year everyone! I have a little challenge for you below. Which watch is heavier, the Rolex 75th anniversary platinum or the 5976 40th anniversary in white gold?… Jim
I was going to say the Rolex but your challenge would suggest otherwise?

Trick question Jim. The 5976/1G is WG and larger with more links whereas the 116506 is PT so more dense even though it is smaller. I would have to take into account how many links are on each bracelet to be sure 😉👍
2 amazing watches in any case my friend 🔥
Hi Justin thanks for participating, it really is not a trick question.
Hi Justin thanks for participating, it really is not a trick question. Platinum is 95% pure wow white gold is only 75% pure so you would think the Rolex is heavier, but the Rolex is 40 mm and the 5976 is 44 mm so the sheer size of the 5976 including the bracelet wins out… Jim
Of course not Jim, I was joking a bit but also wanted to be more precise...
I sort of knew the Patek would weigh more as well since it is 44mm and a beast while the playtona is only 40mm, even though more dense.
Thanks for the clarification in any case.
My well my friend and Happy New Year to you and yours. Maybe 2021 bring you all happiness, health, love, and prosperity 🥂🎉🍾

This was my thought process as well.
If someone had a larger wrist, it could be that the Rolex would win. But on a smaller wrist, the heavy case of the Nautilus would mean the Nautilus is more likely to win.
Hello Ted, I can’t think of any heavier watches than these two, unless it has a ton of diamonds on it… Jim

I concur!! Some serious "weight" you have going on there....
I am hoping you do not go the "rapper" route and proceed to put diamonds on your watch,

I think I recall the 5976 is heavier than the 5131P (which is about 240-250 grams) but I'll be curious to see how it fares vs. the Daytona...perhaps it wins again?? Cheers ;-)

Assuming they are sized for the same person, I would say slightest edge to the Patek!
I am guessing they are within 7 grams of each other.
Good morning Fernando, the 40th anniversary Rolex is definitely heavy watch
Good morning Fernando, the 40th anniversary Rolex is definitely heavy watch but then knotless wins out… Jim
Well . . . with those two I can tell you what is “lightest” . . . your bank account! Beautiful watches!

Hi Ed, they are both heavy in weight and heavy in price.
The good news is the 5976 is worth triple it’s original price of $96,000 so I’m playing on the houses money… Jim
Yessir! I am aware. You did very well for sure. Smart move! I’m sure you’re enjoyment of both is paying great dividends too! Enjoy and Happy New Year!

A-ha, Watch lounge I was wondering if anyone else had both these watches :-)… Jim

The Patek will be heavier for sure but it’s a giant watch that you can predict will be heavy because of its size. The thing about the Daytona is that it’s a relatively small and thin piece with an unearthly weight for its size
This gives it a magical quality
Correct, the Daytona is stealth it’s weight.
People are shocked when you hand that 40 mm watch to them and your wrist drops… Jim
Umm 🤔 ... white gold vs platinum
5976 is a bigger watch in terms of size but Rolex has a heavier metal...a tie ??
Not quite a tie but very close with the 5976 the real heavy hitter… Jim
