Is there a noticeable weight difference observed in weight for the 321 vintage caliber v/s the modern iteration? What about the symmetrical v/s assymetrical bridge differences. Can anyone shed any light?

Having worn both speedmasters extensively(Ed white + 1861/3861 speedies), there has been zero noticeable difference in weight between them.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I meant the weight of the caliber by itself, not the weight of the complete watch.

Also, can anyone post the exact weights of said calibers here.

I doubt many people have actually weighed them, there really is no reason to. I wouldn't think there would be much difference between an old one and a new one, both brass with steel components. Plating material is different, but negligible difference there. Just curious, why the interest in the weights, do you think the new one is different for some reason?

I was just weighing my old and new Speedy head-only and wondered how much of the weight difference is attributed to the caliber, and if the new one is heavier. It certainly does feel so.
