I haven’t bought yg on my reps for years. The color was never right. I got the QC picks of one these presidentials last evening and the color is perfect. Just saying

My yg was shipped. It should arrive in a few day’s. Would love to get a white gold

is there any side by side with Gen? It looks really nice, would just like to see if the YG colour is a close match to Gen

It's it confirmed the bracelet has tungsten and any news on white gold

 

[acesup11]

Sorry meant to ask IF it's confirmed the bracelet has tungsten

It's it confirmed the bracelet has tungsten and any news on white gold

How can you tell? I’m willing to check mine as long as it doesn’t require taking the bracelet off or scratching it.

My local seller is flooding the market with QF. Still no ARF available. QF making good bezel, good gold tone, but the case shape is not right

How is the plating with tungsten cases? Have they managed to get it to same standard as stainless steel?

RG and WG can be plated ok but YG all the Tungsten variants I've seen are always cheddary

Did you notice the cheddar appearance on the ARF tungsten day dates or just the QF’s? I’ve heard silver polish does a great job at getting rid of it but I didn’t see it on the ARF yg like on my other reps. I’m wondering if the metal they’re using to plate with isn’t oxidizing over time and producing the cheddar cheese appearance. My ARF tungsten day date was in the first batches of their’s they produced so I’m thinking that it hadn’t had enough time to oxidize. However if you’ve seen it in the ARF tungsten day dates to maybe its something else like a coating they’re using.

any update who ordered 193g version?

 

[Latarian]

We need a comprehensive comparison of ARF, QF and GMF v4 with the VR3255 movement. This ARF piece looks like a game changer when GMF was the only option for a decent day-date rep.

Does somebody have long termin experince with tungsten and plated 18k / RG?

Does it fade away or smth like this caused by the alloy and plated gold cant stick long time on it?

The Arf DD in Yg is simply amazing.

The Arf DD in Yg is simply amazing.

Unless it was just lighting in the QC posts I've seen, their YG is off.. too dark and too yellow. However, their RG looks great.
