a bit more food for thought ...
Ian fleming describes in his letter a Rolex too heavy at 6oz...(170g)
in ohmss bond refers to the rolex as a bit heavy
my explorer is in europe and my big crown is at service so photos courtesy of a very helpful dutchman,
a nice fat 1016 gilt on 7206 : less than half the weight of what Ian fleming describes as heavy.

a polished 6538 .. 20% heavier

the thicker guaged a6538 or 6200, or later 5512/3 would be heavier still...
