New release: Tungsten Rolex GMT

[Honcho644]

What do you guys think of the new release of the tungsten gmt? I’ve been waiting for a tungsten rootbeer!

 

[Cubatobaco]

The root beer or meteorite Pepsi!

Meteorite and add a Clean V2 Pepsi insert

Looks interesting but Gold Factory’s earlier releases had plating issues. Curious how this new, supposedly “does not fade does not lose skin” process holds up.

Kind of like "1:1 made from gen as sample"

Heard these all go to Flandad for plating and rotor silencing.

 

[TerryRobot]

They doing this on the two tone As well?

Interested but as with always I would caution with these plated tungsten models. But hey Gold has good reputation for their tungsten cases.

Gold factory returned but from the looks of recent QC their old tungsten Daytona case which weighed total 146g is no more, new Gold Factory QC case shows it at 136g

So they returned but it's different parts now

Do you think the braclet and buckle are tungsten also? i Bought ARF gmt 174g case is the only thing heavier than standard steel on it

 

[Guiltycat]

It looks like they’re adding extra links to make up for their weight claim again? It looks like 14 links rather than 12 standard

I’m just waiting for a real tungsten bracelet at this point…even just center links

They exist already for the Daytona. Custom tungsten bracelets already exist.

I doubt you'll ever see one for a jubilee but the oyster ones are not far behind.

Whether or not this tech will be put into mainstream "out of the box" factory replicas we will have to see.

 

[EunosMX5]

Yeah I guess I meant from a factory piece not a custom $3,000 thing

 

[Reaps]

I see pictures and the way they get this up to 200g is through extra links, I mean it's fine, just be aware, it's not new technology or anything, most likely the same stuff we've seen before just slapped on extra links to make it hit 196-200g.

 

[Autobús]

Dishonesty afoot. Similar with the Daydates recently.

 

[Honcho644]

Got my quality control pics of the rootbeer I ordered. Off to gold plating next! Will show photos after the gold plating

 

[Cubatobaco]

Massive bracelet to make that thing hit 195g.

Looking forward to seeing it plated.
