Replica watches usually do not use precious metals, so if the original watch uses precious metals, the replica watch will weigh less than the original watch，Tungsten Heavy watches has become very popular lately.
Gold and platinum are usually used in original watches，The density of gold is 19.32g/cm³, The density of platinum is 21.45g/cm³, The density of 316L stainless steel is 8.03g/cm³, The density of tungsten steel is 15.63g/cm³. From these data, we can know that if a watch case is made of tungsten steel, its weight will be nearly twice that of stainless steel.
Tungsten Heavy watches are now on the market with Rolex Day-Date, Rolex Daytona, Rolex Yacht-Master, Audemars Piguet, and many more styles being produced.
There are 2 ways to produce tungsten watches,
1. Embed tungsten steel in the stainless steel case, such as the Rolex Yacht-Master from the VS factory and the Rolex Day-Date from the GM factory, these watches can increase the weight by 40g to 60g.
2. Directly use tungsten steel to produce cases, such as the Rolex Daytona from the aps factory and the gold factory, these watches weigh almost the same as the original, (the weight difference is less than 10g),However, the case made of tungsten steel can not be directly plated with gold, and it needs to be chrome-plated on the surface, and then gold-plated, so that the gold watch replicas has a disadvantage, its gold plating can not be well covered on it, and it is easy to take off, So, many people no longer choose gold watches that directly use tungsten steel case.
In my personal opinion, it is recommended to choose the first way to produce tungsten steel watch, its appearance is as good as stainless steel, and heavier than stainless steel, if you are very concerned about the weight, choose the second way to produce tungsten steel watch, but gold watches are still not recommended
