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

Would you prefer QF over ARF? If so why?

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.

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.

Is it confirmed there is tungsten in the bracelet?

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 hand

I was told by a good knowledgeable person, that the ARF case shape is good, GMF is not like GEN

I thought they were comparing the 36mm to 40mm bracelet which accounted for the difference? Thanks for replying
