JDF just launched a tungsten gold rolex day date with correct gold weight

[Horace_Derwent]

I saw the add on the puretime, couldn’t believe my eyes, I just typed my supplier, that is close friend with the JDF boss! So let’s see what he says tomorrow

Any news ?

On Puretime all the DD YG from JDF (VR323 and A2836 ) seems like 'normal' Rerps, no WU-C bragging in the description anymore.

Can JDF boss confirm this ?

Well, for what it's worth - the tt datejust i have from Jdf really has almost gen weight. But i think they just added it in the caseback. If someone has an older 36mm two tone Datejust from gmf (which is jdf), we could compare the weight of a single bracelet link to see if those are also heavier.

Any 36 rep and almost like gen
The real deal is 40mm

The normal two tone 36mms were way lighter.

The normal two tone 36mms were way lighter.

As my as I know that gap between two tone reps and gen is between 5-20 grams max.

The gap between rep day date 40 to gen is between 75-100 grams.

All depends on the number of watch links.

So you understand that an average 12 grams on two tone doesn't make any difference unless you traveling with a digital scale alongside with you.

The 85 grams average difference on the day date 40 is super noticeable on your hand and wrist.

I'm talking from experience on both 18k solid reps and gens.

I know someone who living 45 minutes from my place who secretly sells this 18k solid reps, price is really high.
Last time I visited there I tried 18k solid rose gold 5711r patek and a rootbeer gmt

 

[Itto]

I do not want to get into an argument here lol haha.. each to their own. Personally, i feel the difference between 20 grams on the wrist - but others may not notice. Just wanted to help man.

Trying to post pictures, but cant find IMGURL or What its called, its says That photos are bigger then 7MB, already paid and everything, my suppiler took a old GMF showed 130 grams on the scale, and the new JDF Cu-W metall 160 grams, so thats more then a steel sub for sure, weighed my 41mm VSF sub, that was 151 grams so its gonna feel heavy

[newest dude on the forum]

I'm very skeptical.

 

[JTSWE]

I'm very skeptical.

Wonder if its in the case/ or both braclet/case.

 

[masterpiece777]

Is there actually any real tung models avionle yet,the links shows it’s 904L?

 

[992TurboS]

It still lacks about 50g even if its 160g. Still very noticable imo

 

[masterpiece777]

and how much does the a 904L steel weight normally for this specific watch?
And why they don’t advertise as a tungsten watch?
Does it just contains a bit tungsten with a layer of 904L steel becouse I know it should not such a huge difference like 50 gr.

I realy hope factory’s will make tungsten platen “gold” watches and if they have diamonds on the specific model they will use high grade moissanstines.
This will be such a huge step forward in the rep world!

It still lacks about 50g even if its 160g. Still very noticable imo

Wonder if its in the case/ or both braclet/case.

TrustyTime said it was in bracket AND case - I am going to go for the WG Blue face once someone here can validate the weight and feel in person.

 

[laser21]

Any news on this?
