This is why members state that they aren't buying tungsten builds. The detail isn't as fine. Replace it with a CF bezel instead. The 10g difference won't make a difference on wrist

My wife told me to lose weight anyway. Does this count?

Clean Daytona 116509 white gold(904L) blue dial comparison with GEN
Hi everyone, I’m so excited to be back with some new comparisons. This comparison is about the Daytona 116509 blue sunburst dial. Unfortunately our new photographer didn't capture its beauty. It was a sample dial and was staying outside for some time, there was some rust on it already. It...

I thought you meant the CF like ceramic bezel my fault.
Are you saying get the clean factory bezel and have them plate it white gold

I'm saying if you care about the details like that then the CF bezel is better than the tungsten bezel which is what I assume that one with the shoddy 70 print is. It's up to you.
When I saw these builds, many people opt to use the bezel and midcase of Clean, full tungsten bracelet and caseback, total weight around 170-185g. Mainly because they like the fine details of the SS model over tungsten.

I wont comment about popup but there was a reason why Xing abandoned his tungsten steel project. Making one or two really super nice tungsten case is feasible. But up the scale by magnitudes, 10, 100, it is very hard. This is the result we are seeing now.This is beginning to look at lot like a bait and switch from @popup
Below are the pics they sent me before payment….. pretty far from the results we are now seeing
But yeah like typical tungsten case - rehaut and engravings and finishing is not at level of SS (not talking about ur pictures but yhe one shared at pg7)

Hmm? If it's very hard to scale up why don't they offer a version 1 the current price and a version 2 (much superior) at a higher price?
Well in my opinion it should be pretty simple, dont show pics of a product, take peoples money and then deliver something of less quality

Hey man I agree. That's between you and popup and the review section brother. There's a reason why I only own one GMF tungsten build at a reasonable price. I'm not about to shell out $1000+ for a case that is worse aesthetically than a SS case.Well in my opinion it should be pretty simple, dont show pics of a product, take peoples money and then deliver something of less quality
I did get my hopes up when I saw the initial pics, looks like we still need to wait a bit before something good hits the marked
Well either way, let’s see what shows up…. Worst case scenario, it can be a warning to other members

Yep and it's cheap, no plating issues, and good enough for wearing it once a month. Different strokes for different folks.
Wait are you saying he sent pics and then shipped something else?This is beginning to look at lot like a bait and switch from @popup

Popup did me proper on the few parts orders I had with him. Never ordered a complete build.
I will say trickle down effect is real and rapid in the rep game. These same cases with refinements will be available at standard pricing at some point in the future. Look at the RM stuff.
Saying all that. Id still buy this because I’m an impatient tungsten whore.

That does look a lot better then the other oneOk I got him to make a new dial. This one looks almost perfect
