I considered adding the 20,000 Footer to my collection, but at 28+mm thick I can't imagine it is even wearable...it is only 2/3 the weight of the 12,000 Footer because it is Titanium.

The OP was looking for the heaviest and thickest diver, the 12K is still heavier, the 20K is thicker, but IMO probably too thick.

I guess that for this depht, if the case would have been in steel, it would have been unwearable: So they went for a harder material...

I was fitting the Buran Manta Ray today at the store. It is BIG, heavy and serious-lookin'. But it can't come close to the Charmex. I learned something new from 3T again today.

I think the Charmex can also be used as a chopping boardtoon1.gif when fishing, huh William?

I wouldn't mind having one of those brutes.

I know I will probably be scorned for posting this one but it weighs 14oz and 50mm case. 18mm thick.

I've gotten snobbish about the weight.  My Sea Devil has spoiled me towards other smaller watches.  I love the heft.

Here's more than a half pound of Enzo.  286 grams on bracelet.  Less of the Bund/Strap.

The biggest heaviest watch I own is my new Invicta Reserve Specialty Subaqua.  This guy has a 52mm X 20mm case and with all it's links weighs in at right about a pound. Being a Subaqua it is water resistant to 500m. (1650 ft.). I know some of you guys aren't Invicta fans but, this is quite some watch. snoopy1.gifI have a pic posted in today's wrist check as well as in the new arrivals.

Sissies!

This Nixon is 51mm ... not sure about the weight, but I can assure you ... mine feels like a boat anchor.

I take a lb less dive weight when wearing this baby ... :P
