Horological Meandering

Hi All: Does anybody know how much the Bremont Supermarine 500 weighs when fitted with the solid steel bracelet? I think this is a very impressive watch despite the modest movement (modified ETA 2836) inside. If I didn't already have a UTS 1000m v2 GMT in... 

Hi DB, I couldn't find the answer to your weight question either so I emailed Bremont Customer Service and received a very pleasant reply within the same day. That reflects well on a small company in my view. Bremont also did not have this information at ...

My recollection is that the Sub comes in at 189 grams. Compared to the IWC (and my UTS, for that matter), the Rolex is a bit lighter. I do not know if this recollection is based on the older (stamped metal) bracelet or the newer adjustable bracelet.
