I already want another :( RG with olive dial or WG with olive dial :frusty: the WG with light blue dial is a beauty as well.

Is it just the pics, cause the SS w/ green dial doesn't look olive at all. Checked at multiple TDs.

I just red light this.. poor cyclops and SEL.
I have QC from two others that have good SEL and cyclops so I know GMF can do better than this.. I hope my TD is ok with it, it's the first time I have ever RL'd before..

That looks like TT QC pics. Andrew can be a little pissy sometimes when rejecting a watch but stand your ground and hell give In.

[mention]ks123 [/mention] I really like that dial, I wonder how the rest of the watch will be in comparison to GMF.

The GMF & EWF 36 date-just also look good, That’s for another thread though.

Yeah EWF makes one hell of a good chocolate dial, the rose gold colour looks same as well as the day font. wonder if BP, GMF and EWF are sharing parts

GMF is a subsidiary factory of some sorts to BP so that makes sense. EWF I’m not sure

Accepted QC's for your interest.. both have SEL gaps that the RG olive didn't have but they are both acceptable to me. Cyclops not perfect either but within a tolerance I can live with.. I love both of these, I'm looking forward to the WG (ss) watch especially, it looks fantastic (I note that dial on the Rolex website is more silver than white?, we'll see how it is IRL, but I'm happy either way)..

Agreed, the SEL thing was just a lousy spring bars problem IMO.
Those watches are quite fine.

GMF and BP is the same factory, run by same people.

1 thing I can live with, but when I can see 2,3 things, that's not so good.. He was totally fine about it and the next one above is marginally better. :thanks:

You did the right thing, the cyclops window alone is an instant RL. Your second QC came out way better.

Thanks mate. Here is the QC I got for the RG one as an example, it's got tight bracelet fit/SELs and cyclops is straight. I knew GMF could do better that's why I RL the YG watch..

The RG is great, but the 4 and 8 markers looked more accurately set on the YG. As usual, can't have it all with reps... :eek:hwell:

In house photos until we finally get some sun where I live.

Safe to say I'm pleased with the watch. Not my first gold GMF, but my first none wrapped gold GMF so the jury is still out on the quality of the gold. But as far as color, it's pretty spot on imo.

Photos are 100% stock iPhone photos.

Does anyone know if the rose gold or yellow gold have any differences between the GMF and BP factories?
