GMF Day-Date 40mm Tungsten Heavy Version

[FourthLetter]

Is the YG the normal SS and the Plat the Tungsten?

Weight differences, I would have assumed if they were both tungsten then they’d weigh the same. Or was that intentional to also replicate the differences between gen gold and platinum?

There is no tungsten in that YG sample. You can see the tungsten ring in the "platinum" caseback, and the absence of one in the YG caseback.

 

[Plenitude]

Yes, the YG is not the V2, so there is not tungsten. You can see the weight was added in 2 point: caseback and rotor of movement. 20+19.

Holy shit, this would be huge if real. Still feel skeptical after the last “tungsten” release by JDF though… hope someone confirms soon that this is the real deal!

What happened with the JDF tungsten release? I was about to get one

Okay RWI police, go find your next person to wave your fingers out. I bet it makes you feel good

Don’t even reply to him. That guy is a fuxkn weirdo lol

Any reports about how the bracelet weight feels? The light braclet has always been a shortcoming of DDs so if there's a noticeable difference in felt weight I'd be tempted.

Anyone willing to sell me one or two YG links? Hit me up on PM.
Thank you

Yes, added weight to the bracelet.

 

[JuanSB]

Yes, added weight to the bracelet.

If you could describe the general finish of the watch and how it feels like in hand it would be great.

Does it feel balanced? If they really only added weight to the removable links it would be a pity as I have very skinny wrists. It would be awesome to know more about the weight distribution!

Thanks in advance

Im sure many people here are very eager to read some little in-hand review.

The watch feels balanced and heavy. Not like a GEN DD as those are even more heavy but I'm pleasantly surprised with the heft and craftsmanship. Furthermore the factory uses thicker link screws that makes the bracelet feel wayyyy more firm and GEN , not as flimsy as with older releases.
I just ordered another one.

For those of you with large wrists , are the links provided enough for a 7 3/4 - 8" wrist ? I know that in Gen I needed an extra link for proper fit. I'm ready to order one of these in YG with black dial.

Nope, unfortunately not. I have 17,5cm and wear the watch tight - only 2 spare links where left.

Oh wow. That's quite a bit less links than gen,

 

[ross29]

You'd think they were made of gold or something

GMF is so cheap when it comes to the bracelet/links. I have asked PT for a replacement bracelet that well serve as a donor bracelet going forward. I will send you a few YG links if needed. Free of charge of course.

Im not sure what u mean, I used to have a gen yg dd white roman, i have about 17,5-18cm wrist and I also removed just 2 links

I’m 19cm/8inch and I’m missing 2 links on my GMF DD for a perfect fit. GEN ootb is a perfect fit.

I may have to order an additional bracelet or start a collection from you thin wristed gentlemen !
