Rolex Sub: Weight
I had owned a Rolex Red Sub since 1986 that I unfortunately had to sell this past Spring. I really enjoyed owning that watch, partly because of the status the Rolex name carries but mostly because I was able to hold on to something so valuable for so long. I guess I looked at it more as an insurance policy.
The sale really pulled me out of a jam and now that I'm back on my feet again I'd like to replace it with a non red sub. I've been trying to become more informed on real vs. fake Subs and was wondering if the weight of a sub could be used to discern real from fake. For example: a specific model sub weighs 146.24 grams +/- .05 grams (just a swag on the weight). Is there any data on this? I'm sure 1000's of other people have thought of this too but it seams like a quick first step to weed out the fakes.
Thanks to anyone taking the time to read this post. This is a great website that has been extremely helpful to me as well as a lot of fun!
