Nice...lighter than I thought....let’s just say, another box is checked for me for getting the 124270.


Thank you.

Thank you.

Just answered to ur thread.

124g for 124270 and 107g for 114270

Source from different guys and not sure how many links though.


124270 is heavier and I can definitely can feel that but mostly are from the bracelet.

Not as comfortable as 114270 with older style bracelet but you get a a feeling of modern Oyster bracelet instead. Both are unique in it own.

We need a third scale to see whether it is 120 or 124g with full links!

Wow, thank you for the great pictures and doing this. Lug to lug at 43mm, which is slightly shorter than 114270's 44mm, correct?

Are other aspects in line to say this is slightly smaller than the 114270 generation?

43.1 but it wears much larger if you include the solid end links. I don’t have a 114270 to know those dimensions.

Thank you for this... looks like it's a genuine 36mm (and bit) vs what I thought I read was 35mm and change. This is good!

I just measured my 114270 and got 44mm lug to lug and 45mm SEL to SEL.

Thanks.

I wonder how this compares to the 37mm Yachtmaster oyster bracelet. I think that may be slightly smaller still, perhaps 17mm or 18mm at the lugs.

I hope to see a 37mm Yachtmaster with a slightly larger bracelet closer to this size.

Wouldn't surprise me if the YM37 is narrower. Even though it's 1mm larger than DJ/OP/Exp 36, this one is specifically marketed towards women (based on Rolex.com watch finder).

Very nice and understated. This won’t be the watch for those trying to flex with a big, chunky, brightly colored, and overpriced trophy.

I partially agree. Smaller watches, IMO, tend to make the wearer look larger, particularly in photos. With oversized pieces, it always looks like the watch is wearing the wearer instead of the other way around. In fact I think this may have something to do with larger, looser fitting watches becoming popular with women.
