Could someone with one of this confirm if weight is increased only in head or bracelet as well.

If they made a 36 day/date in tungsten I would be all over it. I literally could not buy it fast enough, 41MM just does not look right to me in a day/date.

Day Date 40 is 40mm, 41mm was the previous and rare Day Date II.

How Do you like it? @e1phantom

Love mine but the bezel kinda looks weird no?
Are the flutes a little bit too sharp-looking for you, or something different about the bezel you dislike?
I wonder if I'll get one and goldplate a DJ41 bezel to install onto it instead.

To each their own but 36mm is a small watch in today's watch world. One of my best friends has a gen 36mm DJ, green dial, iced out. And she may have a 6.25 inch wrist. Looks great on her.

Im not sure... the bezel looks kinda of like its sloping down instead of being flat. Maybe the way it catches the light makes it look like that. I may find a 41mm DJ bezel a re-plate it to see. Heres another angle.

Hey hoping you guys can help. I’ve been waiting for the watch for a month and just got qc’s indices look crooked especially the 8 o’clock roman numerals.. the TD claims its just the angle.. Id love to know your thoughts. Btw this V2 is 167 grams if anyone is wondering… lastly theres been talk about YG plating being dif on case vs bracelet.. im not seeing it in this pic but im also not sure what im looking for.. if anyone can see the difference please let me know.

You can go through 36 rounds of QC, and it will not get much better. You have to accept that it's a fake dial. Those issues are common. You'll have a tough time finding a rep dial with 100% straight indices

Agreed that it will never be perfect I just wanted to make sure its not worse then normal.. to me it jumped out right away but that also might just be my OCD creepin up. Officially the reason I had to wait a month was because GMF was out of stock, so I believe this is fresh off the press. Does anyone know if the latest batch still has an issue with the YG plating not matching?
