Let's get ready to rumble!
First time ever, weighing my watches, using da wife's food scale.

Here is a head to head comparo: wearing red shoes in one corner, the FC Trulli coming in at a featherweight 108 grams. And standing at the opposite corner wearing shimmering gold shoes, the YG pre-C Sub weighing a super middle weight 178 grams (minus 2 links).

I sure hope this scale is accurate.

Love your 5711/1r Neil. Very cool that it weighs the same as my pre-C YG Sub. Hard to beat your 1-2 punch in the RG ROO44 and 5711/1r

Neil's RG ROO44 wins the belt if we are going strictly by weight.

Thanks Everett, for the suggestion to weigh my Trulli. I hadn't a clue how much any of my pieces weigh.

The heaviest of them all has got to be the 42mm ROO Gold on bracelet.

I'd like to see rogers PTs on a scale... iirc, back a while ago he said his Pt Schummy was 300g.

Ken, yeah, I love the PT on white rubber. I said on another post, almost all the ROO's look great on white.

I must have missed that post Mike. I couldn't agree more - the white strap seems to have found favour with many of our fellow ROO owners on this forum.
