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?

I just ordered a black dial one, so we will see when it arrives. I too am curious about the plating

What factory is this one?

This is the tungsten GMF ?
It’s indeed just a litle step forward.
But let’s hope they will improve soon like whole tungsten case for gold Daytonas would be a mayor next step (for oysterflex models)

They’re improving but this is just the first step looking fastforward what would be available in. 3 years from now!

@fishysquishy I remember the GMF datejusts having different coloured yellowgold when the bezel colour is compared with the bracelet. But I didn't hear this was ever a problem with DayDates yet? - At least yours looks fantastic to me.

Speaking of GMF Tungsten DD being out of stock, I texted with a TD today and was informed the green dial YG is out as well. No ETA was given. If anyone has word on it, please share.

And if there are rumors of a vr3255 from Shanghai movement factory, we can all dream of a Dandong 3255 based on the vs3235 movement… after all we did just get the 3285 versions of these movements from both Shanghai and Dandong.

here we are :)

VR3255 is finally out and in distribution, and EWF opens the chapter on a new era of Day-Dates

There will be no more need for Day-Dates to depend on 2836-based movements. Friction-fit GEN dials will now drop in without modifications. The combination of this new movement with weighted cases will make it possible for us to have Day-Dates that are closer to GEN than ever before.

It seems that GMF batches have been having printing issues. Worn this less than 10 times total, but look at the 10 marker. The printing is flaking.

I'm not then only one with this problem. I remeber someone selling their blue Daydate with similar printing flaking.

🤮

I also had this issue with the same watch, at the 9 marker.
