Hi, the entire watch is weight added not only the case but the strap.

This watch finally is going in the right direction with this model!
The weight is great, the clone movement is also very very improved compared to the aeta 2836.
Sadly in artificial lighting the color is way off from real Rolex 18k Gold which is a No-Go for me.
I stick to my 18k Plated GMF Tungsten with VS Bezel and VS Xtal

Plating the ARF would also fix this and having near gen weight which nobody will notice the approx 10 grams difference. How many microns did you get your GMF plated?

Hey Andiot, is the gold color like warmth red gold? That is how the gen color tone compare to other Rolex's gold models. Is the datefont also closer to gen vs GMF? Thanks!

This is a replica of a Yellow Gold DD. Therefore it would not have any redish tones in rep or gen.
Thanks! Wouldn't mind the color much, since it is a rep. I just can't wait for the better day fonts and improvements for their gold plating.
