I hear birds chirping right outside my lawn, I also hear K-pops randomly playing in my Homepod mini, and my cats are meowing too.
Our new tungsten cases with full oyster band bracelets are almost ready to ship from the factory. I'll update this thread as soon as I have them in hand.

Our new one will be based off this idea but should end up about 210g
Oysterflex model at 210g? Surely you meant full bracelet model.

I think he means he’s making tungsten bracelets that fit the oyster flex models?
I mean the idea of mixing tungsten with SS. The idea is using the SS for the parts that need to be engraved so you end up with an excellent quality engraving but the weight of tungsten.
Here are a couple pics.

Very interesting… can you elaborate on what the three numbers refer to in the image of the case?I mean the idea of mixing tungsten with SS. The idea is using the SS for the parts that need to be engraved so you end up with an excellent quality engraving but the weight of tungsten.

So the first image of a link means it’ll be tungsten inside and stainless steel outside?I mean the idea of mixing tungsten with SS. The idea is using the SS for the parts that need to be engraved so you end up with an excellent quality engraving but the weight of tungsten.

Any update on these hybrid tungsten cases @xing_david? This looks like fairly complicated machining — more steps involved to create the complex void geometries, and two parts (SS shell and tungsten weight slug) that need to come together with very fine tolerances.I mean the idea of mixing tungsten with SS.

I also wonder about thermal expansion of these two materials. Steel expands by 13e-6 per degree C, tungsten expands by 4.3e-6 per degree C. For a 1cm sized part (eg a bracelet link) over a 40C temperature range (e.g. a cold day skiing at -10C to a hot day by the pool +30C) the steel would expand by about 5 microns (that’s 2 “tenths” for freedom unit machinists). Which is actually pretty tiny and the Tungsten would expand by around 1/3 of the steel, so a few microns (or less than a “tenth”). Ok… so thermal expansion isn’t going to be an issue.
Also waiting patiently for a 116519 tungsten version. I really was hoping that Gold Factory would be back into production by now. If anyone has an update that would be great
I received an update that they were very close a couple days ago. Sorry for the wait.
Thanks for the update David. I’m really looking forward to seeing this. Keep us posted.
We have a total of 40 sets in white gold and rose gold being finished and shipping in about 1 week. I will make a post with pricing and pics as soon as I have the inventory in hand and ready to ship.

I got you but submit an order and I'll go down the list in order of who sent the order in. No need for payment at this time. I'll send more detailed pics once I get them.
New Tungsten Case
Please submit the order if you are interested in the tungsten case. This is released in very small batches. When I have one available for you I will reach out. No payment will be taken at this time.
