My Daytona SS weighs 148 grams. The WG model is about 195 grams.

My White Gold Submariner, With One Link Out, Weighs 224 Grams. I Would Think The White Gold Daytona Would Weigh More Than The Above-Mentioned Weight Of 195 Grams!

Most AD's also sell jewelry, and have scales, especially for diamonds, if you can find a friendly AD, he might indulge you and put them on the scale. He might be curious as well. You could also call Rolex USA and ask.

Yes, there seems to be different weights listed for some models. The 148g for my SS Daytona was weighed on my kitchen scales (with all original links) and they would be good for 0.5 gram accuracy.
The YG Daytona was weighed on My AD's scales and it was 195g. It was a customers watch and could have been one link short as I didn't count them.

I wouldn't take those weights for granted.

They were sent in by different watch owners and who knows on what scales.

They seem pretty bang on with the watches that I own. My S/S Daytona (116520) with an extra link added is 144 grams. I had my AD weigh a link and it weighed in at 4 grams.

My DeepSea was scratched at 9 o'clock that was polished out by Rolex of Canada, the bezel click spring had to be replaced and it came back looking new. I can see losing .5 of a gram from having it polished and whenever I get a scratch on the brushed stainless part I take a Bergeon 5444 to make it look new again.

I read that the platinum is a stout 283 grams. That's quite a workout!
