I thought this had been asked before but I could not find it. The question is how much gold is in a DDIIWG. Another post showing the specs says that the Gold version of the DDII is 220 grams. Of course there could be small differences between YG WG and RG as they have different alloys weighing different amounts. Someone else speculated that the movement and crystal of a Platinum couldn't be more than 10% of the total weight. Obviously I am trying to figure out how much gold is in the watch. 18K gold, I think, is 75% gold. I have been told by the AD that the WG is 75% gold and 25% Palladium. Seems to make sense. Anyone have an answer or SWAG. I would suppose the actual answer is a deep dark corporate secret but I wouldn't doubt that a forum member has pretty well figured it out.

Something like 220G (?) * 80%(?) = metal content * 75% (?) is gold = 148 grams ??
