I just ordered the 35mm GF from InTime :) I think the 35mm looks much better than the bigger one, can't wait to get it

Personally I agree about the 35mm. Would be cool if you could post some wrist shots once it arrives! I’ve been thinking of pulling the trigger for 35mm GF as my next order!!

Really good! The quality of the overall watch including bracelet is gen like. I tired on the gen in the store and for me the difference is minimal if not the same. It has a nice weight to it too and feels really comfortable on the wrist.

Emailed Sead and he said to use Cape Cod to remove the scratches but still disappointing for a new watch upon arrival.

Thanks! Do you know if a gen strap is compatible with GF?

Darn it! Okay, after much back and forth I just put in an order from PureTime. Will share wrist shots when I get it.

Got the large size. I think it’s too big for my taste. The small size is too small for my taste. I would prefer something in between

imho large is really large for a normal wrist. the previous version despite being a lot thicker was better sized.

35mm I'm buying for my wife..

Is anyone having problems with their GF 35mm not holding charge? I've turned the crown 15-20 times as per instructions but I'm not getting the quoted 42 hours power reserve. I'm not even getting 12 hours! I need to reset the time every morning.

Is the watch is faulty?

I have the GF 35mm and mine tends to lose time most days. Nearly every morning it will be 5-10 mins fast. Not a big deal, but can become a bit annoying.

Think you both been unlucky... mine runs on time and has enough power reserve... find a local watchsmith that touches reps and have it serviced

I also have had no problems with mine. Bite the bullet and get them serviced.

Nice! When going over the QC pics were you on the lookout for anything in particular? I ask because I just received my QC pics.

I was just looking for obvious flaws. I didn't see any so I accepted the watch.

I've been told by Sead to wind the crown at least 60 times. It seems to have done the trick so far!

Is there a gen quartz version of this or are there only automatics for this 2018 model? I couldn't find any quartz Gens of this
