Hmm, of course I did. I know I'm knew to this, but not that incompetent 馃榾
Just the back case alone is like 10 grams, and the case itself is decently thick. So, using your calculation: 36 x 75% x $62.57 = $1,689.
I may be off by 1 or 2 grams. The crystal may be thicker and heavier, and not really sure how heavy the tension ring is. I just extracted 3.67 grams from the 39.67 total I got, thinking that should cover it.
LoL now I'm tempted to check the gold weight in my 18k Constellation just to benchmark.
I believe I checked case back ones and it was around 10g as yours. But I have no clue what's the dog leg case weight.
Totally love this watch - I think you scored royally. Great job ignoring all the glove comments and getting the feedback you needed! These are great watches. Oversized for the vintage, love the fine brushed bezel (wracking my brain for the right specific design term) and circular dial face. Modern and timeless at same time.
Its hip urban cousin says hi.

From the get-go it was an awesome watch and incredible price, thread after thread the ignorance and insulting near-NOS watches, I'm speechless ...
Thanks for sharing the measurements too
You can look at 198.001 too, so many models to collect
You got a nice watch and will not be selling it for the price of the gold.
However, for what it's worth, if anyone is curious, it is not possible to sell scrap gold for the full spot price, so I have never understood the point of calculations using the spot price. If you are calculating the value of the watch in gold, you should calculate the amount that you would receive. The buyer will sell to a refiner and both businesses need to make a profit.
The place I use pays 85% of spot, and he is the best local buyer. Currently, he is paying $40.60 per gram of 18k. If you have a lot of gold and direct access to a refiner, you may get 90%.
From the get-go it was an awesome watch and incredible pricel
100% agree, great watch and great price! Keep and eye out for the solid gold bracelets, they鈥檙e rare but these solid gold with bracelet 168.022 examples look awesome!
And enjoy the case and concentric dial variant, I鈥檓 definitely a fan of them. 馃槈
