Rolex weight
So I have been wondering here. I have the Rolex GMT-Master II C 11670LN Z serial number, and it is the heaviest watch I have. But I don't know if I would call it heavy. A lot of people say Rolexes are heavy. When I pick it up I don't know if heavy comes to mind. I have worn watches that come up almost to the wight of this before, so maybe I am just used to it. Does any one else have this problem? I know heavy is a relative term. One of my friends says my watch isn't heavy, but they don't own a Rolex either. that person thinks they know all about Rolexes. Is it just that Non-Rolex owners think that Rolexes should be heavier than we all no them not to be? I would like to here your feedback!
They say that the GMT II C is about 146G, which feels about right to me. (Stainless) |

Woah, Heavy!!
It's all relative. I tried to weigh the clock in my car and it was over 2 tons!! Nah, around 5 ounces isn't heavy when there are watches that weight twice as much, again relative. |

DSSD is the only rolex watch that is heavy for a ss watch.. It weight in at around 215g which is almost the same weight as a 18k sub c 116618. Anything heavier than 230g, it will have to be made in 950pt. DD2 in 950pt 218206 weight around 270g. Cheers! .. James

I don't think GMT II is heavy at all, there are several other brand like Tag Heuer Link Chrono which is a lot heavier than Rolex

My GMTIIC is heavier than my GMTII or my 16610LV. So yes it all depends what you are comparing something to.
