One of these two, What do you think @Lou P ?

Luv ‘em both @elara2105 ! I have less experience with the Lobster…only seen once at a GTG…but regarding the 188.002, most may not realize just how large and heavy that sucker is! Case looks deceivingly like the 38mm 176.007 but it’s way bigger at 43mm.


It weighs in at 27% more than an 007...and an amazing 45% more than a Moonwatch!


My solid gold 18K Speedmaster head weighs the same…94g! (I only have an on-scale pic of it with strap, but trust me I’ve logged it in at 94g head-only) So in your case, your 002 not only looks like a gold watch…it FEELS like one!!! Enjoy!

You are right! It is a heavy watch, but they are incredible, with the bracelet I think it weighs more than the Mark 4.5! 😲
