QF 126529 LeMans review - gain weight vs steel

[VenomGT3]

Are the bracelets tungsten alloy or do they just have some tungsten inside them like the case backs do?

If the ladder, just have it plated. No big deal.

From my understanding the bracelet and case are a tungsten and copper alloy and they’ve been rhodium plated

Right you said!
Just to compare:

We are definitely getting into the 0.0001% population range of people who would be able to confidently ascertain the particular tone of white gold on wrist or in hand and accurately grade it against a gen. Reps do not need to be microanalytical science props. And as reaps also mentioned, there is always going to be nuanced variation from watch to watch over time. Another thing to consider, as the watch ages and obtains the odd scratch or scuff, who is to say the absolute tone of the white gold rhodium plate is off by a fraction of a percent? Buy a rep and enjoy it, stop tormenting your ego

Without tormenting my ego , simply looking for the best super clone (so the factoties call it)...
Finally it's an hobby and a pleasure too, playing with those watches analyzing their smallest prop.
But for who simply buy and dress those replicas you are right...Just enjoy 'em.

from what i heard its not an alloy as working with tungsten is very problematic.

They simply covered the steel with tunsten layer/shell, then plated.

Also check this out and consider whether a factory like QF might be really would be able to work adequately with such a material, which even the giant CF does not undertake and not because there wouldnt be demand for it

Interesting

 

[bertieng]

How is it compared to the quality of APSF? Anyone got any idea?
