Well, it is Tuesday, and this 105.012 hasn’t seen wrist time in quite awhile:

Today I shall wear the lighter of these two:
- 18K solid gold Speedmaster on strap (27 CHRO C12 Jubilee on thin ostrich and plated tang buckle)
- Steel Speedmaster on bracelet (ST 105.012 on original 1506)


Full disclosure: The backs are solid gold vs Preik sapphire.


Here we go.

97g for the Moonwatch on bracelet


...and 102g for gold on strap

I shall wear the Moonwatch, but they're really within a skosh of each other. Just shows that the gold adds to the weight of the head by about the amount a flat link bracelet...around 30g...which may not be as much as some would intuitively think. YaY!
the gold one weights more

Yes, welcome to the Forum! And your Planet Ocean is a beauty 😀

Thanks Jones! I love it my Planet Ocean. It does have a bit of patina, one might say.

My current humble watch collection includes my now-vintage Hamilton from junior high school (early 70’s), a nice new (this past Christmas) Hamilton Field Mechanical, a couple old Heuers from the ‘80’s, a drawer full of old but kinda cool Victorinox Swiss Army watches, and a few other funky Bulova Accutrons and Seikos. I bought a new Rolex Submariner way back in the mid-eighties but sold it (long story...). I am now completely infatuated with Speedmasters. Researching Speedies lead me to this fine forum! So much knowledge here - it’s really amazing...
