YG GMT 116718 weight
What is the weight of your YG GMT. I weighted mine and it is 207 grams with two links off. I found some owners have 209 grams with two links. Is it normal that same model has two grams weight difference?
Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I have to say 2 grams is a tiny diff.
Maybe yours is clean, his is dirty, dirt, soap scum etc adds a few grams:) Sometimes a polish removed a little gold or steel. Don't sweat it...who really cares?

I just weighed my WG GMT and it showed 205g (also with two links off). I bet one or two grams is probably within the tolerances of the scales used to measure this. Also like people say, some dirt here and there, a couple grams polished off etc.

It’s seems most Rolex have some weight variation between pieces. There’s a longer thread where folks are posting the weights of their watches and it really surprised me to see slight differences.

Yes, Asia is definitely heavier than Europe, something to do with mass migration to the Americas, esp in April.
