Note:

Unless stated otherwise, the weights of the watches indicated are with full links (no links removed from the bracelet).

There are numerous factors that may affect the weight of the Rolex watch. One of which is different tolerances of accuracy depending on the scale that is used. Furthermore, different dials may add or remove from the weight of the watch. A gem-set dial will naturally make the watch weigh more than one without.

Things like polished or not polished and clean or dirty may also have a slight effect on a watch’s weight. And lastly, the number of links that are on the bracelet will also affect the watch’s weight. Therefore, view a tolerance within a few grams as acceptable if you are weighing your own watch considering all of these factors.
