That is heavy duty ... I am not familar with Tungsten watches ?!? ... As a kid (1960's / 70's) tungsten was a term we used to signify the toughest of all in almost anything .... is it heavy or light compared to regular stainless ? It is cool looking for certain hand6.gif
Thanks CJ. Tungsten is a very dense and extremely hard metal that is extremely scratch resistant. It is also heavier than SS due to the density. My watch guy worked on a couple tungsten watches and said he had a bracelet link shatter due to how brittle the tungsten is. This watch is 46mm and weighs about the same as a 52mm. It is very heavy for its size.
