Had to Weigh my EX ....

[snow_rocks]

(not wife.) With all the weighing going on, I decided to weigh the ole tool!

A whopping 3.5 grams!

[JJ Irani]

Only 3.5 grams? Are you nuts?

That would be the weight of just ONE LINK!!!

The entire watch should be close to 120 grams or thereabouts!!

He probably has "the hollow" one.

The whole shabang.

It's possible you meant ounces. 3.5 oz = 100 g. Yes JJ, less than your jubilee.

No little grasshopper, 3,5 oz is 99,2233309 grams.

[snow_rocks]

Did I say grams?

I meant OUNCES!

That scale is older than JJ!

I hope next year is much better.

That's a mechanical scale meant to weigh kitchen stuff like flour, sugar, etc. Very inaccurate for weighing a watch.

You need to weigh it on an ELECTRONIC scale..........so bring it over to my butcher's!! I'll make sure you get some free Pastrami!!

Did someone say Explorer? Nah, I'll let Rick send you some. His pics are always good.

[BASSETHOUNDS]

Or your scale is actually older then J.J. if that is ever possible or your watch is about 30 grammes lighter then it should be ...

Well, I sent you 2 e-mails that you choose to ignore.

I'm sorry Leo, I keep forgetting to check that email. I have so many email addresses for different purposes that I don't check them all the time.

First off he's using a standard mechanical kitchen scale - good enough for food stuff, etc. - but no good for the kinda accuracy we require.

He needs an electronic scale with a digital read-out.

If you think it's a @#$%, then you'll have to talk to my AD!

[kyle L]

I have a whole bunch a pictures here Leo if you want to see them:

Thanks!

Every time I'm in the butcher's shop, he is standing there,

with a cleaver dripping with blood. Uh, Uh, I'm not as brave

as JJ!

Don't say that Master Tosser,

my scale was made before they invented electricity and it gets as close as half a gram.

Hey Leo,

That scale brings back fond memories when I was doing my Bachelor's in Chemistry.

We didn't have electronic scales way back in the '60s, but those ones above proved pretty accurate.

Of course, we also used the standard centre fulcrum pan scales which swivelled on knife-edges and could weigh upto 1 milligram!! They had a pan on either side and were very accurate.

Holy cow, the '60s!
