Some exciting news, ADGF factory finally is apparently releasing these models with the 4801/4130, details to come



They also have teased these sapphire bezel ADG models although I dislike these because the gasket is SUPER obvious....


This one on leather strap

how does that burgundy wear? I've been curious about the ADGF pieces but the case shape is so different... more like subs, and I hate subs lol.
It feels a bit "cheaper" to the feel, but wore it for a full day and it grew on me. It's light (clearly not Gen weight) and feels a bit flimsy, but I ended up liking it a bit more than I had expected.

Size wise, did it wear like a typical 40mm Daytona or smaller? Lots of times I see them listed as 38 or 39mm - I could imagine the different lugs also contribute to any differences in wear you felt?

I happen to be working from home today so went and grabbed the watches for measurements. To be honest, I'm very surprised with what I found.

Warm Burgundy: 38.46mm, 136g
Panda Daytona: 39.11mm, 137g

The weight difference - or LACK of difference is surprising. It feels lighter to me. Maybe it's the bracelet? I'm not sure. Hopefully the below pictures help.
