Curious...does anyone know the weight of the Rose gold rubber clad vs the RG 44??

Hey everyone,

I'm sure this is a question I could answer by simply going to a jewelry store and weighing each (since I have both in my possession) but I was curious if anyone knew. They feel seem to feel about the same...almost as though the rubberclad is a tad heavier. I was interested to see if anyone knew. Thanks in advance!

Best,

Carlos

Well I weighed the 44 and it came in at 224.5g of gold. I read somewhere that there are two references of the new 44 with the newer reference having slightly less gold. My ref# was the newer. Unfortunately I wasn't able to weigh the rubberclad before I sold it.

A friend of mine weighed his RGRC at 225.28g (incl. the strap & RG deployant buckle). I heard the older ref of RG 44mm Novelty is heavier

Heavy and heavier--very substantial pieces weight wise (something to take into consideration for all day wear).

But they are stunning.

Older style 44 weighing in at 243g. I love the weight though, suits the presence of the watch

Interesting. Is that for the piece produced after the price decrease (I serial number pieces)?

Interesting the 44mm (new ref) weights less than 42mm.

If someone has a FC 44mm (or SS) can you weigh it?

That's correct. My price is post minor decrease and weights slightly less...I still love it BUT I would have preferred the extra gold!!
