the tone of the bracelet is very warm and genlike unlike my stock Noob
and also the overall finish and feel is very very similar my friend's gen GMT ii
and also guys do you know how can mark like that happened in the bracelet link ? (my 2nd photo) is it because metal to metal scratch/factory defect or nail scratch ? it also happens on my friend's gen,he has that kind of mark on the bracelet links near the SEL

Have the same issue with my DSSD. It doesn't bother me. I just stare at the dial.. lol

Toro Todd me yesterday 1 -2 weeks for restocking.

@efthimis did you follow him up today to confirm stock.

GM gents [emoji16] This SD43 is the only watch that calls to me ever morning. Two weeks on, I’m still amazed by the quality and the gen like finish. I haven’t gotten an ARF Daytona yet, but now I understand. ARF has raised the game for all makers and it can only be good for us...except the price [emoji849]

Gee, that's funny, I had the same response from on on 11/28/2017 when I ordered mine and so far, I haven't received QC's or anything. Which means, no, he does not have them in stock and no, they are not available.

Andrew at TT just returned my email request for an update on my order (placed 11/25). He says stock is arriving today and tomorrow. QC pics coming soon.

Would you mind posting them? And did he say they are from the new batch for sure?

Well, presumably from the new batch given the time frame, and the long wait for QC photos. I just emailed him back asking specifically if it is the updated version, and I requested photos of the date set to 16 and 18. I’ll post photos, if QC photos are OK’ed, once TB replies hopefully confirming that this is indeed the new batch.

Specifically, are we cool posting QC picts here to evaluate for the potential updated version? I know QC picts can be a touchy issue sometimes.
