Thanks for the review.

You are correct, it looks different in the sun and has a white gold hue on it. Hard to capture pics, the reason I did not mention it.

Do you mean the tungsten version or the SS version has a white gold hue?

I’ve said this before, but it seems this model actually looks like it has a “white gold hue” as opposed to the regular SS look? Am I correct in this? Thanks for your confirmation.

This was the first thing I noticed when I received mine. The WG look is very prominent. At least compared to the other SS oyster's that I have.

In regards to the pushers and angles, I knew I wasn't crazy. I couldn't find a single thing any different from rep to gen. Glad someone confirmed that I wasn't crazy.

You see that @trickstar911?

In sunlight, the bracelet of the gain version exhibits a faint bluish hue, a characteristic often seen in white gold jewelry. White gold is usually plated with rhodium to enhance its shine and durability, and under certain lighting, this plating can create a subtle blue tint. However, this effect comes from the rhodium coating, not the white gold itself. Without the rhodium, white gold tends to show a slightly yellowish tone due to the natural color of the gold underneath.

That’s still a significant difference in weight.

so this QF tungsten is factory-plated?

looking good to me, but the price is about $160 too high.

Any particular reason APSF over QF?
