What a joke - $568 for the medium SS/YG.
I was waiting for this version, but I'm detinifely not buying at that price. They can keep it, and shove it!

Took my TD 2 days to get the GF 35mm with both bracelet & leather strap, last week!
Prob because of thick-plated gold parts. I tried gen on as well but it looks screamingly flashy. Don’t know which occasion I could wear it appropriately.
I talked to both Sead and Andrew and they were both confused as to why the prices were so high as well. Sead said he thinks the gold options may be wrapped but I don’t think that’s the case since TT lists them as plated and the solid SS one is the same price.
There's no reason to be that high - their reason is, some idiots will buy it anyway.
The regular size is like 100 dollars less, YG/SS by the same factory. There's no logic for the medium (no date) to be that high.

To continue the thought, the Noob Daytona is about the same price, but with a clone movement (almost identical to the original) and 904 steel. This price is still high but it's understandable because they had to put an extra effort to recreate the whole movement.
This medium Santos had none of that: it has a noisy Miyota movement and the same old same old 316 steel. The amount of gold is so minimum that any $4 gold plated bracelet on Aliexpress has more gold than this watch, so it doesn't justify the hike in price. Hell, it has less gold than the regular version.
Lets see if it's just greed from trusty time or from the factory.
In any case, I predict V6F will do it for $300 less.

Hello Gentlemen,

hm11esh, fair point.
what are you views on the BV two tone (rose gold)??
http://www.trustytime01.cc/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=21_163&products_id=19622
just saw this, and now I'm in two minds of whether to go for blue dial GF or BV two tone rose gold.

never really seen the two toned one until now. it does look nice but I would be weary of the plating coming off especially if you will be wearing it daily. I personally only go for stainless steel watches as the weight ratio is correct and also don't have to worry about the plating coming off.
The two tone 35mm was just released last week. I wouldn't worry too much about plating wear on a two tone watch. Also, I tried on the gen and while real gold does add some weight, the gens are very light and I think the reps can easily pass as a gen.
