Default yoza a quick question

hey m8

ive never owned a rolex but got into a heated debate at the gym recently
i wear tags mainly (yes i know your opinion of em) but i was under the impression that the rolex submariner was a more substantial watch in terms of being a solid block/ sheer weight than a tag 2000 professional automatic
i have both the quartz (cheap **** i know 800 quid) and the auto chron (still a bottom feeder at 1400) i was looking to upgrade to the said rolex but after feeling one all i could say was it felt really really light
is this so , as i said im no watch afficienado but although it looked ok and felt with the locking clasp real , it felt very very flimsy. In fact lighter than my quartz

any input would be ace

im edging towards the mighty IWC if i go back to djng as i was making cash money dollar easy peasy

I dont know about comparing a submariner to a tag but my sub (bi metal) is really solid and heavyweight. If I give it to anyone to look at they always comment on how heavy it is and how they would never be able to wear it because it would weigh there arm down etc etc

I will weigh mine next time Im in the post office.

They are not light, but not particularly heavy either...

The clasp on my new one has a hidden button on the clasp extention, a bit fiddley but no fake has the right clasp, dead easy to laugh fakes off.

As for the spoiler lifters, my modem has over heated with the massive resonse.......

Funny you should talk about the weights of watches. My Rolex Yachtmaster was a stand in until my Daytona Arrived.
When i went to collect the Daytona (Rolex Dealer) it was so light after wearing the Yachtmaster for 18 months. I still bought the Daytona, But sold it on. Just didnt feel right on my wrist.

So know where your coming from

Just had my yachtmaster bi metal back from Rolex, and it feels a little heavier than the GMT2 (stainless) I had on for a month. Did you weigh yours at the Post Office Yoz?

Its big

Its black

Its got a leather strap

It looks like a Breitling Navitimer


But its not.

I think its an Ulysse Nardin GMT Perpetual Big Date Single Diamond.

Re Simon cowell.
Not always.I thought it looked like a breitling.
