Watch weight
Does anyone know why the weight of the watch is never reported when you look up the detailed specifications of a particular reference on the Rolex website ?
I for one would find it interesting. Thanks in advance Andy T |

Possibly to prevent counterfeiting

I would think because the weight would change with links added or removed and just a general variance in weight from piece to piece.
You did make me curious about mine. A 114060 with an Everest rubber strap and regular tang buckle weighed 111 grams |

i dont think its probably very helpful to a lot of people. Saying something weighs XXX grams for instance doesn't really give a frame of reference that most people will relate to.
Saying it weighs the equivalent of 2 mcdonalds cheeseburgers and people would get it
