Hey guys, my Butcher sends his best wishes to all of you!! LOL!!!

And you know what that means, right?

That's right, I weighed my new Exp-II at the butcher's and it came up.....125 grams.

10 grams less than the SS Sub-date's 135 grams....

....and 40 grams less than the TT GMT-IIC's 165 grams.


Cheers - JJ

If my math is right your watch (at retail) costs $21,495 per pound.

That ain't chopped liver.

Did you feel the watch with your lips while at the butchers weighing your watch? That would of really pushed your poor butcher over the edge!
