couldnt find a comparison picture yetSo what you guys recommend ARF or GMF for the 228235 rose gold version?
i've read alot on reddit, most ppl are pushing arf at the moment
im looking for 228235 tungsten, not sure yet if QF or ARF
I honestly been research for months and it’s between QF and GMF.. and also read somewhere that it’s the same factory ?
If it’s RG go with QF, if not rest is GMF
Seems QF and GMF use the same cases. RG color seems to be the same as well. https://imgur.com/a/qf-vs-gmf-MbJzrFe

ARF YG seems really off to me, but the RG ones I've seen (non-heavy) versions look great. I keep reading there is a waiting list for ARF weighted / tungsten versions. Seems there is a shortage of Tungsten. There's really not much info about ARF, QF or even GMF's latest models of Day-dates out there.Would you prefer QF over ARF? If so why?
Not the same fac but owner of both is the same, this might explain the similarities
Assuming QF and GMF source the case and bracelet from the same supplier based of what I've seen.

The tungsten models have heavier bracelets compared to the ss models. They’re not full tungsten.
Someone posted the comparison and it’s around 15g heavier

i also saw a post on reddit where a factory plated ARF Rosegold was directly compared to an flandad GMF after market rose gold plating
it looked nearly identical for to me (from the colorway on the picture)
for me personally the GMF bezel on this specific picture looks way too off

Please do share pics, especially when on handi decided for going with ARF now after doing a lot of research
waiting for QC
I thought they were comparing the 36mm to 40mm bracelet which accounted for the difference? Thanks for replying
V5 Tungsten Rose Gold is, with all links and a2836 (heavyer movement than 3255 clone) 186g in my case.
