Kind of difficult to answer if you compare two different models. Different manufacturer could be best at different models. I don't know about the Chronomat, never had one, but I have had a Premiere B01 from GF which was basically flawless if not for the fact it was 1,5 mm thicker than the original. The gen is 13.6 mm.

Also consider, if going for the Premiere, that those with sticks as indexes are the older generation. The newer have arabic numerals. I saw one of the TDs having those as well.

I am looking to get both models so it is not either or but both. I didn't know if to get one in a particular mfg and the other in another mfg. Not sure what arabic numbers look like, I will have to search for that. Thanks.

Sorry if that wasn't clear but good to get that answered early.

No problem, probably me who read it too fast. As said for the Premiere with sticks I would go for the GF if you can find it and can live with the extra thickness. There are no alternatives to the extra thickness. Eventually you can look on the M2M if TDs don't have it anymore. I had the rose gold one and it did look indeed really nice.

Here is my old sale pictures (hope you can see it as it is archived): https://forum.replica-watch.info/th...aph-42-gf-v2-rosegold.10968705/#post-11640479

Let me help you decide. GF has been raided and gone for a couple of years, you cant buy them anymore. You're stuck with BLS. Enjoy!

Never shop on the website, they are always outdated. Dealers only add new stock for the most part and dont remove the old.

Most people know what they want already and just contact the TD, send a pic of the watch, tell them which factory, and ask if its in stock. You could browse the website but with most of the watches being old/out of production, youre going to spend alot of time finding things you like only to be let down in the end. You cant research quality on a website, you need to read about it from the experiences of others.
