Rumored v3 of GMF with 173g, an extra 7g...


Yes, same as the very first batch! Back when tungsten was in abundance!

I read somewhere that the added weight is becuase of the 2 extra links in the bracelet GMF provided

Well that'd still be an improvement, even if not the big one we're holding our breath for. Stock bracelet on these is far too small.

Anybody have a franken version of this? I want to start a project with gen dial, bezel, crystal and maybe date and day wheels

You may want to look at a EWF with the new VR3255

Just received one, weighing in at 160.4grams with all links.
Can you drop in the ETA 2834-2 as a direct replacement for the movement without any mods?

This one looks nice
Is that supposed to be a black MOP dial or is it just poor finishing?

Is there anyone who got these plated? I tried to contact @Flandadcash via PM but haven't got a reply. I heard the Tungsten does not hold the plating and it will look bad in a very short amount of time? Anybody who can share their experience?
