Also whats the weight difference between a steel and a 2 tone for the dj41 and gmt or sub?
The thin strip of solid 18K gold on the TT sub clasp is around 60 plus microns thick, if gold pated it would be around 4-10 microns thick, but its a strip of solid gold fuse welded to the clasp and fliplock centre.
