Dissected the watch today and measured the weight of the parts on it.
only 2 grams for the 4 endlinks, by the way the endlinks are made of titanium, which is good. They are very lightweighted. Not sure if the JF 15706 has titanium endlinks.
The case+ movement is only 78 grams. It has a 2846 inside and this weight is impressive and very close to gen. It can be further reduced by swapping in an PM 80 or replacing the stock rotor with a lighter rotor (I used the stock engraved AP rotor which is heavier).
Watch straps+ buckle. This is kind of innaccurate as I washed and cleaned the straps right before I came to the market for measurements. They are wet and heavier.
Overall, the watch as a whole feels like a quartz watch and is even lighter than some bulky quartz watches. Very impressive.
