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

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.

YM should have solid midlinks adding some additional heft over the standard sub.

this is with v4 bracelet right??

that's way off.. I bet if u weight with v3 should be heavier.

YM should be heavier.

128 to 135. It will feel it on hands

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.

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 .

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!

difference is probably in the movement weight, ROLEX vs ETA

 

Thats what I though, but...

 

My recently acquired TC with V4 clasp weighs 132g

Awesome watch!

 

Recently acquired means same TC2824 I would of thought?

The bezel insert weighs 2gs so you're at 130 :)

Will get some photos up

 

The insert weights 2g?  Ok, didn't know that.  Look forward to your photo :)

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.
