Yep, sounds about right. that 1cm is about those 2 links.
Im fat around the mid-section. We cant all have the length and girth, like some of you!I may have to order an additional bracelet or start a collection from you thin wristed gentlemen !

FYI only Noob or BP president will not fit the new GM president. The mid-links are just a tad too fat.

Thanks for the info.. So it feels like the bracelet links all have the same weight to them? Im probably going to go for a RG or WG with a green dial. Does anybody know if GMF nails the everose colour? I think its probably much easier for them to go for the YG tone but then again i prefer RG/WG.
WG is probably the safest bet.

Its hard to tell if all links have equal weight. With the updated screws the individual links feel very firm. Just like GEN. The YG plating is spot on. Very nice job by GMF btw.
If one has handled the GEN they can call you out. If not its hard to claim it’s a REP by just holding and feeling the watch.
I'm impressed.

Okay good to know.
I assume at some point we will get a higher amount of tungsten in there. This is just the beginning of the "precious metals reps" era, im absolutely hyped!
But for now I am going to stay with my franken datejust and call it a day.

After receiving today a GMF tungsten RoseGold with Olive dial. Considerations:
- Wrapping is a must. Gen has a characteristic where in bright lights it looks very light colour and this one doesn’t. To whoever had a gen Everose it’s a instant tell.
- Weight feels imho mostly to the case and links, I personally don’t think bracelet and clasp is tungsten, I think they did the removable links only plus the caseback and rotor.
- Dial is as good as it gets GMF quality is there.
- Bezel, can’t compare it to Gen or genlike.
- Movement seems solid, winding far from gen.
- Crystal OK, a gen will definitely complement the dial and watch.
- Not enough links for my 19.5/20cm wrist, 1-2 more would be perfect.
Bottom line to me right now these bellow are musts.
- Wrapping
- Gen Crystal
If anyone wants to sell some links I would appreciate.

YG plating is almost on pair with GEN YG. In some lights the REP YG looks like white gold, same as GEN. Im very impressed. I even herded a second YG DD. Hope the plating holds up.
I had to order an extra bracelet to compesanet for the missing links. I need to add two links, one on each side, for a comfy fit.

hows the weight now? i really have some girly wrists and thats why i wonder if the removable links add a lot of the needed weight and that the watch will feel "off" once these are removed.. maybe you could weigh it? i would really appreciate it.I’ve to report a crime…
