Weight complaint
What would it take, to have every manufacturer list the weight of every watch including strap or bracelet?? ...
Yes, why not?
I doubt I am the only one who has weighed their watches. It's relevant. I've also wondered about listing precious metal content.
Ten million bucks
Like many things that one could measure, this is a discretionary item. It's like (in the automotive realm): range of travel forward and back of the driver's seat maximum size of tire that can be fitted w/o rubbing actual speed of wiper blades Mike
Only…
As someone mentions, it would show an increasing cutting of corners when it comes to the use of precious metals 😉 So quite unlikely. And not sure there’s a watch magazine out there that does this in a standardized way 🤷🏻♂️
Omega does this now
They've also started listing thickness, lug-to-lug, and lug horn spacing. I take some pride in that ;-) Best, Tim
They have really set a new standard for data
Though in my research I still run across occasional misses and internal inconsistencies Would love to get in there and tighten it up a bit!
I often thought about it
Why the "hide" the weight... And why for certain watches, or certain models, you actually have to search for information when the "data" doesn't serve the manufacturer...
I'd want two weights, though, at least for any bracelet watch
Head only, and whole watch including bracelet.
LOL
What you want is a full size platinum watch or a huge diver on bracelet to wear on the scale. Actual weight: less than one pound. Feeling of weight: massive, ponderous, must be a huge difference on the scale between my actual weight and the weight indicat...
