Weighed My Watches
This Rolex bug has gotten worse over the last month or two since joining this site. I went out and purchased a digital scale just to weigh my watches. It was nice high-end scale a lot like the ones the dope pushers use (I can hear the jokes about how I know what the doppers use). Very accurate and here are the results.
YM TT/YG 16623--140g SS SUB 16610----132g GMT Master Serti TT/YG 16753---111g DJ TT/YG JUB ToG 16253---97g DJ TT/WG JUB with Diamonds Face---96g Or put another way using the heaviest (YM) as the baseline: The Sub is 6% lighter than the YM. The GMT is 21% lighter than the YM. The DJ's are 32% lighter than the YM. |

Interesting.
Thanks for that. May I ask what kind of a scale did you use? I would like to know the difference between the SS YM and the SS GMT II c |

At least two of those weights are not very accurate. The TT YM weighs in at 146 grams (with all original links intact). The Sub-date 16610 should weigh 135 grams. Perhaps you've weighed them with one link taken off?

You are correct. Good catch as I did not think about the missing links. YM=missing one link; SUB=missing one link; GMT missing one link; DJ's=each missing two links. |

excellent, useless information! BTW, has anyone measured the difference in weight in their trouser pockets before and after they purchased one of those beauties?
