Erict719 Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 I always wonder if they weight the same. also as mention on another post on RG, with the new tc v4 bracelet , the watch weight even less. Anyone got numbers to show ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceocorona Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Gen weighs apprx 146g. My original BK YM weighed 139g. My new BK WM9 YM weighs 143g. Could be a scale error? Either way hand feel is not noticed. I have handled the gen and my rep one after another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSTEEL Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) Ok, here you go. Need to remember, theres two spring bars missing from my sub atm, and the bezel insert, but we are talking very little in weight terms for these. 128.9g Edited July 31, 2013 by SSTEEL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By-Tor Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 In the old days ETA-powered reps weighed more as they had solid middle links on the bracelet. Now there is no meaningful weight difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet if u weight with v3 should be heavier. YM should be heavier. 128 to 135. It will feel it on hands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSTEEL Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 V4 clasp yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indywatchguy Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 So is it confirmed that the V4 is lighter than the V3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSTEEL Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 I cannot confirm this as not had a V3 mate. I am still waiting on a reply from Thomas to clear up the confusion on the bracelet/v4 clasp. Will post my response when I get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erict719 Posted August 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 I didn't weight mine before, but there is a noticeable different in weight by hand with full v3 bracelet and v4 bracelet. Sad my v3 is now sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1680 Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 So you can feel the difference of 7 g on your wrist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erict719 Posted August 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 So you can feel the difference of 7 g on your wrist? not on wrist really, but when u hold the watch with hand , its quite noticeable , or maybe with a v3 is more then 135g.. Who knows Before the v3 I hand wm9 bracelet, the change made a right a way notice in weight, then when to v4, the whole thing feel like plastic .

Si77 Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 I have a photo of it on the scales. Do I need to use photo bucket to upload on here? That's including all bracelet links, although I've removed one now to make it fit correctly. Only received the watch on Saturday, have fitted a gen insert and absolutely love it!

highoeyazmuhudee Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 difference is probably in the movement weight, ROLEX vs ETA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erict719 Posted August 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 u sure the new tc u got is full v4 bracelet? Or maybe v3 bracelet with v4 clasp..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSTEEL Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 u sure the new tc u got is full v4 bracelet? Or maybe v3 bracelet with v4 clasp..? Afaik there is no V4 bracelet, only a v4 clasp, so I assume I have a V3 bracelet with V4 clasp. Still waiting to hear back from Thomas to confirm.
