Very interesting thread. I was just comparing perceived weights between my 16622 and 16570. Obviously the platinum in the bezel of the YM was going to add some heft, but based on this thread (and google) the watches are ~ 147g vs. 117g. Clearly more than just difference in materials, but both 40mm cases from approximately the same era (2005 vs. 2001, in my case), but 25% more regardless of where the increase lies.
This thread suggests the bezel alone on the YM is ~10g, with another 3-5g from the dial (which I find suspect): https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=235646 Anyhow, if you've never put on a full plat Rolex, you'd be amazed at the weight of it. It's almost as if you can feel the density of the metal- it's both awesome and exhausting at the same time! Doesn't make me want a Platona any less, though... |
