I think thats this models designation. How much to pay for a lightly used one?
Can anyone comment on how many ounces of gold rolex actually use in these? I know there suppose to be solid but at $680 a ounce I cant believe rolex can get 3 ounces to make the whole watch. Last edited by tonyp; 11 February 2007 at 12:22 PM.. |

The extra 15 grams of gold actually equates to around 30 grams of actual gold content in the watch. Don't ask me how I worked that out 'cause I didn't. It was worked out by some other guy on another forum a long time ago. Now 30 grams is around one ounce of gold. So that's the amount of gold you actually get with the watch. I know you pay an extra $2650 or so for the TT version, but that's just the way it works!! The TT models will always be comparatively more expensive than the SS ones. Cheers - JJ

The description says that this is a Rolex "oyster style" bracelet
No gold on the clasp.

Another point of interest to note is the bracelet part number. You'll find it inscribed under the very first link (as seen in the picture above).
Today's SEL bracelets do NOT have this part number in that position. Instead you will find it inside the SEL link, but in order to see it you have to take off the bracelet. See pic below...

On these two tone watches, the gold goes into the crown / bezel / center links / hands and marker surrounds. The case of the watch is still SS.
