Pure tungsten is not cheap. The less pure, cheaper form of it cannot be machined cold and it is very prone to shattering. Tungsten carbide is expensive and difficult to machine.

More important than weight... anyone know how the shade of gold compares to gen?
I have a 126618LB on order at AD, wonder if this would be a good “trial run” to see if full YG watch is for me.

It should be close enough to make that assessment and an easy flip when you're done with it. Dial color accuracy is also a question mark with the LB.
The replica colour matches more 10k to 14k colour.

I kinda feel that the gold color could be manipulated easily with lighting.

Can't believe this mega cock up...! This is the case back from the new VSF116618LX (pic from PT). I don't know what to say
:idontno:
I wish Rolex made a full gold 16600 that would be so sweet.
Maybe Rolex in Switzerladn will release it in April.

Instant tell from the inside of the case.
In case anyone is interested in seeing the cyclops tell, here’s a video of the VSF LN against my Gen DJ and Gen SD

Hard to tell for me but some of you could spot a needle In a haystack.
You want an easy fix, speak with your hands like us Italians do.

I don't, but I do but I don't really but then again I'm not sure, but man it's a cock up worth pointing out, or maybe you would rather not know. Given the choice, I think I'd rather have correct spelling and correct numbers though, you may be different.

I mean does it really matter when the colour is the instant tell? Don't try and claim a plated rep as genuine. Wear it for fun.
The caseback is a pretty stupid mistake but to be fair I don't really give a shit about the engravings inside.
Regarding the gold color:
Jtime posted the watch to his website today with (at least in my opinion) way better pictures.
Still not sure if they've hit the right colortone but at least on these it seems pretty good to me:
Let's hope we'll get some real life pictures soon when the first watches arrive

Insert looks very nice, wonder if Clean is doing gold now.
The caseback stamps on reps are wrong quite often. 16600 is a regularly misused number. I don't even bother to look at those anymore.
