Info received:
  1. The movement uses the same 3255 movement as the genuine counter.
  2. All accessories can be exchanged with the genuine products of the counter. The ARF factory promises that if these accessories cannot be exchanged with the genuine products on the counter, they will support unconditional return and refund.
  3. The surface of all metal materials is wrapped in a layer of nanometal material, which can better ensure that it will not fade.
  4. At present, 177g-188g is the closest to the weight of the counter, but in about 2-3 months, their final version will reach the weight of 193g.
The watch movement of this series has no sound at all, which is perfect.

Sounds like a titanium nitride coating which, if true, is as good as it gets as far as durability is concerned.

Now I know why the rehaut looks 100x better than tungsten cases in one piece from Chinese modders. Tungsten is extremely hard to work with and good engraving is almost impossible (see tungsten daytona case project from Xing).

I think it's nice solution.

I wonder how this will affect water tightness? If the rehaut and case aren’t one piece then there will be an avenue for water ingress along the seam.

A quick fix is not shower or ocean/pool test your GMF!
Very few swim with their GEN DD
