Hi Dennis,

As requested by you in your PM to me, here's the list of weights and dimensions of the Rolex sports models.

Cheers - JJ

Why don't you post a copy of the info in the resources forum?

padi56 · 4 August 2005, 08:34 PM

Yes JJ its all useful information

4 August 2005, 08:56 PM

Yes, very useful, especially if you are looking for missing grams.........

I hate to ask this, but how do these posted measurements compare to the one you currently own, albeit fleetingly?

I just want to see if he needs to track down any missing grams.

but, in the true balance of it all, what is the differance of a silly mm or gram cracker?

Wait till you see what happens to our bald Kiwi when he finds out that his YM is a few grams short of a cracker. Stand back and watch the fireworks.

Thanks JJ, My YM and TT Sub both feel much heavier than the GMT II. I was curious as to how much difference there is. The GMT II is a real sleeper, it is getting a lot of wrist time. =) maverick

Okay, I've just got up and gone through this thread. Some of you tossers as usual have had your laughs

but I can point out that the above measurements are accurate in most cases.

The SD actually weighs in at 148 grams (but shows up as 147 in the above chart). The biggest discrepancy is in the Exp-II case diameter which is in reality 39 mm and nowhere even close to 40 mm. I've said this before and I've measured it using a very accurate engineer's ruler. The GMT-II does come up to 40 mm as do the other sports Rollies.

Weight of SS/Pt. YM is 146 grams which is exactly the same as the TT YM, also 146 grams. What the TT version loses out in hollow centre links, the Pt. version makes up in that department. But then the links in the TT being gold which is heavier than steel, compensates somehow and both versions come up with the same weight.

Cheers - JJ
