Happy new year everyone, I have a little challenge for you below.
Happy new year everyone! I have a little challenge for you below. Which watch is heavier, the Rolex 75th anniversary platinum or the 5976 40th anniversary in white gold?… Jim ...
Hi Justin thanks for participating, it really is not a trick question.
Hi Justin thanks for participating, it really is not a trick question. Platinum is 95% pure wow white gold is only 75% pure so you would think the Rolex is heavier, but the Rolex is 40 mm and the 5976 is 44 mm so the sheer size of the 5976 including the b...
Of course not Jim, I was joking a bit but also wanted to be more precise...
I sort of knew the Patek would weigh more as well since it is 44mm and a beast while the playtona is only 40mm, even though more dense. Thanks for the clarification in any case. My well my friend and Happy New Year to you and yours. Maybe 2021 bring you a...
This was my thought process as well.
If someone had a larger wrist, it could be that the Rolex would win. But on a smaller wrist, the heavy case of the Nautilus would mean the Nautilus is more likely to win.
I concur!! Some serious "weight" you have going on there....
I am hoping you do not go the "rapper" route and proceed to put diamonds on your watch, .
Assuming they are sized for the same person, I would say slightest edge to the Patek!
I am guessing they are within 7 grams of each other.
Good morning Fernando, the 40th anniversary Rolex is definitely heavy watch
Good morning Fernando, the 40th anniversary Rolex is definitely heavy watch but then knotless wins out… Jim
Hi Ed, they are both heavy in weight and heavy in price.
The good news is the 5976 is worth triple it’s original price of $96,000 so I’m playing on the houses money… Jim
Correct, the Daytona is stealth it’s weight.
People are shocked when you hand that 40 mm watch to them and your wrist drops… Jim
Umm 🤔 ... white gold vs platinum
5976 is a bigger watch in terms of size but Rolex has a heavier metal...a tie ??
The lumpy Patek I would say.
The Platona is very heavy though and right at the Maximum for me to wear and enjoy. M.
That’s because it’s a proper Sports watch 😉😉😉
Come on I’m allowed one dig to begin the year. Enjoy whatever makes you smile and warm inside my friend. M.
Good morning everyone, thank you for participating in my challenge.
Good morning everyone, thank you for participating in my challenge. The Daytona is 9 3/8 ounces while the Nautilis 5976 is 10 1/8 ounces so that Patek wins out. The 5976 is really a monster of a watch, it’s 44 mm versus 40 mm for the Platium Daytona and t...
Yes Justin it’s already 2021 and I bought that watch in 2017
Yes Justin it’s already 2021 and I bought that watch in 2017. How time flies too fast… Jim
My pleasure Fab
I think I’d take being lucky over being good any day . As a new year starts I can’t help but reflect on how fortunate I am to be in the position of being healthy, happy and owning some pretty FABulous watches… Jim
