Just to be technical...solid tungsten has the same specific gravity (density) as pure gold (19.3), so a tungsten case would be about two and a half times as heavy as one made of alloy steel, and about nine-tenths as heavy as one made of pure platinum.
Believe it or not, I DO own a single Accutron (it showed up mixed in with all the 18K Pulsars). It's a mint stainless Bulova Centennial Edition. It's the only Accutron model ever made without a date code (it was produced in only one year, 1975, to celebrate Bulova's 100th anniversary), and is one of the rarest. I'm pretty sure I have pics of it somewhere...I'll post a couple if I can find them.
