Can anyone comment on how bad the date wheel is on the HTB V3?
I don’t think antone can comment as not a single QC of a final THB V3 has been shared, let’s wait. I have a V1 and DW is not worse than other factories.

Comparing the rose gold hues of the THB V2, V3, and both non-weighted and weighted ARF Day-Date 40s. While the THB V3's increased weight could simply be attributed to added links, and the dial indices do appear improved, my initial impression is that the rose gold color remains consistent with the V2, however it does appear to be a tad more rosier than ARF's weighted rose gold.

guys need some help with custom real met dial I bought off a WeChat dealer last year and gen hands for my gen WG DD , unfortunately the met dial had feet which my watch smith refused to cut and install on the gen DD. upon asking the dealer he blocked me as I was told it was made for a gen watch later another Dealer confirmed its for GMF watch not GEN . anyway I still have the dial and no lume gen hands.
dial is gorgeous and I really want to build one , which watch shall I order now GMF or THB with clone.
attaching dial and feet picture ,thank you.
FYI just placed an order for the THB v3 WG Vr3255 to be a donor for a met build with custom DD meteorite dial.

That dial is made for non clone movement, most likely Day window placement will not match the gen caliber nor the clone 3255.

Can someone make sense of this? Did THBF actually upgrade to DD3255 or have we've been bamboozled? The only difference I see is the rotor now has "Chronometer Perpetual" added. They're charging more money for the same color as V2, more links and decorating the winding rotor 🤦‍♂️ ?

Amount of links is the same, I have a V2 and already 30 links on it but less weight than V3.

Each THB V2 links are exactly 3.0g and this looks like 4 extra links = +12g
Check this video please, about 44-50 seconds, I can count 31 links excluding endlinks, exactly the same as on V2, I correct myself from my previous message, have 8 spare and 23 on the bracelet.

Good catch, I count 31 as well on each. So they were able to add 15.5g somehow to V3 in the example below
