Lose your hologram and lose a whole gram!! LOL!!

Well, guys......as silly as this thread title may sound, it's the truth!!!

My Platty weighed 146 grams when new.....but after I took off the hologram the other day, the weight dropped by ONE whole gram....now down to 145 grams!!!

Waaaaaaaaaaaah I want my one gram back!!

As a chemist JJ, you know that balances round up and down. It is possible that your 146grams was 145.51. and is now 145.49.

Just a thought.

2 + 2 = 5

2.45 (2)+ 2.45 (2)= 4.90 (5) Try it on excel when you round off to a whole number.

Never thought something that small could weigh a gram. But after Eddie's reply, maybe my assumption was right. The ultimate in Rolex trivia, LOL! I liked the holograms!

OMG that YMII is big...the wrist shot makes it look bigger than a DSSD. Nothin' like that Rolex 18K!
