The Definitive ROO/RO weight Thread!!
We have so many questions and comments on the weight of specific models that I thought it might be helpful to put them all in one place with photos of varied models and the weight. If you agree this is a useful thread maybe it becomes a sticky in due course?? Since I have a few of my pieces in the same place at the moment I will kick things off. ROO 42mm Rubens Barrichello 2 in Platinum on alligator with deployant.

New Seamaster Mesh Bracelet vs. Older Style Mesh
Sorry if this is an obvious question. It seems to me that the latest generation of mesh bracelets for the Planet Ocean models is a lot different than the previous version. I am asking because I have not been able to locate a current generation mesh model in my area to compare. The previous version with the spring adjustable diver extension was very cool but rather bulky. It seems they have gone away from that style for something less bulky. Is this the case or am I totally missing something?How do they compare? Which do you guys prefer?
