I was just going to say: Why are people buying THB? What's wrong with GMF? I have a GMF DD and it's perfect for a rep.
The new added weight to the bracelet is why I am trying to get one. Also the bezel is the best I have scene. Lastly the new DD movement is great.

Yeah but with a day wheel like that it negates the added weight & the look of the bezel. And how much better could the movement in the THB be vs GMF?

DD movement ist great improvement. Weight in bracelet yeah, but MORE weight in bracelet is because they added more links than gen.
True and not true Sir, previous THB V2 which I own, already had 30 links and weights 192g (more or less), new one is 207-212 with the same amount of links, so indeed they increase the weight even more.

No problem! Was just to show they did some progress haha.

I think the one you mean is CBD but I don’t know if that is really true as haven’t seen an actual comparison yet.

CBD doesn’t look very nice, it has good weight but everything else is off. The links look BIG. If it’s anything like their Daytonas then it will be steel outside tungsten inner.

The links are heavier not more of them. You are thinking of the scams from a year ago. Also having a better movement is definitely important in my opinion. The other factories have wrong case as well from my understanding and the bezels are not as good. So THB with the gen weight just needs the day wheel font to be fixed. It's one thing versus many.

I agree, and It’s strange since V2 had good day/date wheel.

If I am counting this right they seem to have 31 links my gen has 22. So I wonder what the weight is on the THB and others with 22 links.
