Anyone purchased the ARF day date 40 yet?
Wanting to see if it really is 193g
Full tungsten or just case

How’d you confirm it? My usual dealers and modders still can’t get one to confirm. That would suck if it’s all in the case
There are no conformations anywhere that the makers have been able to produce a tungsten bracelet. Furthermore, case and bracelets are made by different suppliers. Don’t hold you breath.

They have made full tungsten Daytona bracelets, I’m curious if it’s much harder making the presidential bracelet because the pieces are much smaller

My prediction for increased weight is that they have a tungsten caseback and some kind of tungsten ring inside the case, we've seen both methods in other replicas

I really doubt the bracelet is tungsten, but I've been proven wrong before

Wouldn't rule out the tungsten alloy case potential either, which could explain the really cheddar looking gold

I have ordered the updated Gmf dd 178g and also an Arf one. Will post comparison when they eventually arrive.
Apparently they both have tungsten in their brackets. Gmf has less
Indeed, also what I heard. GMF will come with a new version but would max reach 185grams. Also I hear ARF has better day font and bezel. Curious to see your comparison arrive and congrats on the purchase!
