I was soooo near to pull the trigger on a Chronomat B01. What's the best Chronomat B01 to buy now? Anyone know how far off TF are compared to GF?

GF was top tier. TF is mid tier. The devil is in the detail, TF stuff is adequate but as soon as you start to look closer you’ll notice many small details not executed as well. Date wheel font and size accuracy, bracelet execution, various small minor fit and finish differences. Even things like bezel pips . GF was always a couple of steps ahead.

Thanks a lot for your answer! I think the best for me would be to try to find a pre-owned GF. It sounds like there's to many details that would bug me.

So from my experience the gf facory is the ling facory to go for. However I feel that the tf facory with some of their newer releases are not that bad. Maybe not quiet gf but very decent for a rep.
