Hi Randy,

Good point!! I've weighed my TT Blue Sub with ALL original links on the bracelet and it came up as 150 grams exact!! So that means your one link would weigh in at 4 grams.

Yes, one link would weigh 4 grams. Remember, there's a bit of gold in it too.

The watch with all links definitely weighs in at 150. I should know.....I've done it!!

No!! It would also depend on the scale being used. Try the weight on different scales and check if they all come up with the same result.

Not surprised, Randy. And you also have a thicker case with broader lugs.

I've often thought that Rolex should be accurately weighed as a step towards testing for authenticity. I would suggest that few fakes would have the exact weight of the genuine models. An accurate set of lab scales would get weight to a factor of .25 of a gram.

Each Rolex would have a weight factor as each model has an accurate dimension factor.

Models should be weighed sans bracelet for accuracy.

I can only relate with the weight in grams.....the rest is Greek to me!!

But the weight in grams seems pretty spot on!!

Websites for weights?

Hi,

I was wondering if there are websites who mention the exact weight certain models should have.
Preferably watches without bracelet as to avoid the 'one taken out or not'.
