GMF Day-Date 40mm Tungsten Heavy Version

[Kielxx]

Is the watch thicker as a result? Tungsten is very hard to machine into complex shapes, so it would make sense that the geometry of the added weight would be as simple as possible. A flat ring of tungsten a few mm thick glued inside the caseback would certainly be simple in terms of geometry. And it kinda looks like there is a ring that’s been fitted inside the caseback.

That’s what they done, tungsten ring inside case back , so you pay extra just for glued ring nothing else was changed

They claimed they added weight to the bracelet?? Man, I hope that was not a lie. I will be getting mine in a few weeks and will weigh the bracelet if anyone has an older version to compare.

Well you specifically asked "any feedback before I greenlight?", which is not allowed here. Good for you if you get that on Reddit

You're right, you're the one posting your stuff here thinking it's like Reddit and I'm the bad guy for telling you that this forum works differently. Makes sense

Man you sound like a dick, what's the point of being here if you can't respect the rules, just enjoy the watch and bugger off, you clearly don't know how RWI works.

Really disappointed with this if they are unable to evenly distribute the weight. Waste of money for marginal gain IMO.

I feel like they have? Weight in the back plate and on the bracelet.

There was a previous report of weight added to the removable bracelet links. 0.75g extra per removable link.

36mm - 9 removable
40 mm - 8 removable

Also received mine yesterday. Very impressed. Weight with all links was 166g.

I have the old WG DD from GMF so was able to compare like for like and the new model is such a huge step up.

Can confirm the increased case weight is significant, and the bracelet also has added weight. 2 links of the old bracelet weighs in at 4g and the new weighs in at 5.5g. Feels SO much more solid too

Not yet - I was just noting the difference in the number of removable links provided by the factory

3g for one link coincides with @BigJimbo 's previous weighings of 2g per unmodded link and 5.5g for two modded links
