GF said 3 more days till the factory has stock. GF also said the spelling error was a big problem for them. I placed my order and paid. Now I wait.

The 3 and 9 o’clock markers on the GF is slightly too narrow (square) as well, the gen 44mm markers are rectangular and eats slightly into the tracks at the edge of the dial

I dedinalty notice h
the rider tabs too thin. I'm kinda happy in a way cause it's a deal breaker for me considering it is an easy tell. This will save me some cash...

I like these a lot and raising the DW is great, but have a look at both videos of these on Andrew's site. When the date is changed the 30 minute sub hand moves. This is particularly clear on the black dial version. Obviously the DW mod, which is probably a spacer ring is rubbing against the 3 sub transsfer gear. This may mean that each time the date changes the 3 sub hand will move a little with it. Easy to just reset but get your TD to get one where this doesn't happen, assuming they are not all afflicted with this.

Hey buddy, how r you? That looks great, I was looking at the white dial the other day and thinking how fantastic it looked. And great there's no sunken DW. Any trouble with the DW rubbing on yours?

Does anybody know, how GF managed to raise the datewheel? I hope that means that there will be more chronographs with tricompax dial layout without sunken datewheel in the future.

The rider tabs kill it for me on this model. They are much smaller and a differnt shape.
