Try on a 18k Omega Constellation watch. The gold warms up to skin temperature so quick it feels like a lambs skin band. As to weight--it's not heavy. Acually, I need to look down to make sure it's still there. As a Horologist, it's by far my favorite watch. It's a simple watch, but it just feels right. My only concern is thiefs notice it more than high end stainless/alloy watches.
