路路IG: #blubarb19I believe that's a little over 3kg for the imperially challenged among us. Come to think of it, that's the amount of fat I gained over Xmas with excess food and drink. Hmmmm, that's 6kgs of extra weight moving my MWO from the coffee table to the couch and back.

路路IG: #blubarb19Does it also contain information on the mark series or is it really, as the title implies, "moonwatch only"?

路I can't believe that Coco weighs a third of a pound more!
Does Coco contain 1/3 of a pound more Speedmaster knowledge?

路路IG: #blubarb19@speedy4ever...regardless, I'm really grooving on the Moonwatch Only book. It's extremely well written (imho) and in this day and age of electronic everything, it's very refreshing to have an actual book where the pages can be physically turned and the aroma of paper and ink can be relished. A hearty "Bravo Zulu" regarding the Moonwatch Only book! 馃憤 馃憤 馃憤
A huge most definitely on that!

路It has so much information that it's hard to digest...sort of overwhelming for a simple dude like myself. It has so much information that I was curious as to its weight...so I weighed it...AND...
...get ready...
...wait for it...
3,128 grams = 6.89606 pounds!
Holy smokes!
