Well, given the fact that CuSn8 Bronze has a density of 8800 kg/m^3 and 316L Stainless Steel has a density of 8000 kg/m^3, the parts that are Bronze will increase in weight by 10% (which would be the CASE Only IMO, since I don't see manufactures trying to tackle a Bronze bracelet which would make the owners wrist quite black during daily wear IMO). The other components...caseback, crown, valve could be Ti for instance while the movement, dial, and hands would be the same. So the weight of the watch head, not including the bracelet wouldn't go up by much (maybe 5% or so), and you could offset that weight a bit with a Ti caseback, valve, and crown so the overall increase in weight would not be much IMO. I think it would be realistic to do a Bronze Megalodon without a bracelet, and offer it with a leather and rubber strap. The Mega case in CuSn8 Bronze would look spectacular too!
