The Definitive 'What does your watch weigh' thread...please add yours too...
Jan 30, 2011,04:19 AM
I'm always interested in what different watches weigh...don't know why but there are the super heavy solid gold with gold bracelets down to the RM027 which as we all know is super light..!!
So I finally bought a mini balance which I then took into work (I work as a chemist) and had it calibrated with a set of external certified weights so I know it is working perfectly. It comes with a fixed 100g weight which now gives on the balance :
So here goes for your interest and pleasure :
Sinn U1
PAM292
Speedy Pro
Grande Sun Moon
Bell and Ross BR03-92
Rolex GMTII
Rolex Datejust
Tag Heuer 4000
Casio G-Shock
Swatch Skin
So as you can see the RM027 isn't much more than a Swatch Skin which is crazy given it's size and no wonder it floats..!!
Feel free to add your's too.
Yours,
Andy.

Thank you, pplater. The artist likes the applause like the desert likes the rain. The watch is a homage to astrogator Atan Shubashi who successfully astrogated the spacecruiser Orion under extremely adverse conditions during a dramatic mission lead by com...
Ahhh, dangerously subversive, Heinrich!...

Is it not the case that the sworn enemies of Commander McLane and all aboard the Orion were the alien race of Uraceel, better known as Frogs ??? Should we take from this some subliminal suggestion that your svelte, lightweight Armbandsprechgerät can halt ...

I should have known better. It’ s not the new image uploader accessing the hard disk drive of my computer but one of the keen thinkers here in this forum that gets me into trouble. pplater, you seem to have identified my hidden agenda ‘in less than the be...

Which model Speedmaster Pro is that? I wouldn't have thought the Grande Sun Moon was so light, particularly with the deployant. Andrew
The weight of sapphire

I have a hesalite-sapphire sandwich Speedy. I assume sapphire is slightly heavier, and if all other aspects of the watch (particularly the bracelet) are identical then it should weigh a little less. I will report back on this. Andrew
