Hi guys i was just looking at my rolexs ( as you do ) and i thought they are quite heavy on your wrist, so here goes. My 2002 model TT Submariner with 2 extra links fitted weighs 154.6 gram. My 2006 model 18ct everose Daydate with meteorite and diamond dial with 3 extra links fitted weighs 190.00 grams. Now for the monster, My 2010 model DeepSea sea-dweller with 1 extra link fitted weighs 219.4 grams. Thank god they dont make the DeepSea in 18ct gold. Have you ever thought what yours weighs. have a guess and see if your close......

P.S i used a digital gold scale to do the weights, so these are 100% accurate, and yea i have got big wrists.

No comment on above, but cannot see for the life of me this fixation with the weight of watches.Does making them heavy make them better,?? and the heavier they are the harder they full especially on the bathroom hard tile floor.

Heaviness conveys quality or value to most people. This is why Bang & Olufsen intentionally make their remote controllers heavier than they need to be.

rangrov · 5 August 2010, 10:57 PM

Oops Padi56, i didnt want your blood presure riseing, it was just my curiosity what made me weigh and post the weights of my watches, after all i have seen people on this forum saying a heavy watch sometimes wasnt to comfortble to wear. Make of it what you will, too me none feel over heavy, mind you i am used to lifting weights in the gym, Ha ha ha.

you know - size matters....
(in this case, the heavier the better )

Hey guys i just wanted to say in 33 years of wearing various Rolex watches, i have never dropped a watch on the bathroom or any other floor, so newtons law dont apply to me. At least with the weight of a Rolex on your wrist, you know if the thing goes missing.

InVision · 5 August 2010, 11:45 PM

219 grams on my 116718. Mike

sakuraba · 6 August 2010, 12:38 AM

I've never weighed them, and rely on JJ's butcher's good graces.

That goes for me too, if I ever wonder what my watch weighs in grams, I'll ring up JJ's butcher and ask. Should I want to know its weight in pounds I will take it to the feed store.

psv · 6 August 2010, 12:45 AM

I think my DSSD is 214 grams, but who is counting? :-)

Are you sure? That's about 10 grams more than what's generally understood it "should" weigh. JJ has a table with this info. He has submitted it before.

rmfnla · 6 August 2010, 06:19 AM

I'm just relieved to hear the weights being expressed in grams; I was thinking mine weighs pounds!

jcherskine · 6 August 2010, 06:26 AM

I don't know how much mine weighs as I have never put it on the scales.

I have noticed my wallet is a damn sight lighter though, since I got the Rolex bug.

rmfnla · 6 August 2010, 06:28 AM

Amen, brother!

Tymah123 · 6 August 2010, 07:34 AM

TT Sub-C with 2 links removed is 155 g, GMT II Coke -1 link is 125 g.

And does this clasp ever balance an already supremely comfortable Rolex!!!

BarkMaster · 6 August 2010, 08:30 AM

Not sure what difference it makes for stainless watches, but when you are talking about precious metals it reflects scrap value.

Did I say SCRAP???
