Let it run for an hour. You’ll know right then if it’s correct.Really. How are we gonna test it in QC ? Let in run and check in a day later ?

QF Le Mans Daytona 126529（White-Eyed Wolf）High Definition Photos

My QF Tungsten took some getting used to at first, but it's not that heavy. My VSF Sea Dweller is a beast...lol. Of course the weight of the QF is due to the amount of links they beef it up with, so with the 4 removed, it was back down in the 150's.

Having a Seadweller and then some heavy tungsten models, the Seadweller is more balanced due to the bracelet width, and clasp. The QF tungsten models always felt top heavy to me. Same with GMF Tungsten.
Love the Sea Dweller! A watch I never believed I'd own, but will likely seek in gen. I also agree with the GMF / QF. I have a GMF DayDate 40 and it was heavy at the beginning. My wrist is pretty standard (7 in), so I end up removing 4 links from the Tungsten models. Sort of brings it back to normal. I do enjoy the weight albeit it takes some getting used to.
My TD run the chrono for two hours ;-)Really. How are we gonna test it in QC ? Let in run and check in a day later ?

Love it! I can’t wait to see how they did this. Hopefully they didn't need to use glue lol.My TD run the chrono for two hours ;-)
He timed it for 2 hours and it was on the 2 tic not the 4. Not sure how that is confusing?Really. How are we gonna test it in QC ? Let in run and check in a day later ?

I noticed they only add 2 extra links to the models with the clear caseback (plat and lemans) to reach claimed 175g.
They put tungsten in the caseback for other models to reach it.
Funny marketing gimmick

That´s the reason, I let my TD do the chrono-test ;-)Where’s the new black max sticker?
I can only imagine how heavy that SD is! Over the years I come round to less heavy watches as they balance better and I like to not know I am wearing something if possible. It’s one of the reasons the Nautilus is such a great watch and so SS would be my preference for wearability. At the end of the day I view it as a positive to have a less heavy version than the original and let’s face it nobody under close inspection will think it’s original so why match the weight? (Even then when weighted it’s still obviously not the same weight). Each to their own of course but to me $300 more on the V9 doesn’t stack up if all else is the same about the watch
By the way, what is the silver infill like on the QF ceramic bezels? Obviously not platinum like Gen, but does it have same kind of grit to it or is it just silver paint?

This is my 904 L (light weight) version of the newest iteration. Do the pushers look shorter?? To me they definitely do. Looks beautiful.
Also it’s definitely a SH movement.

Looks fantastic, I wonder if the movement looks any different, was it supposed to be more highly decorated via plating?This is my 904 L (light weight) version of the newest iteration. Do the pushers look shorter?? To me they definitely do. Looks beautiful.

Yeah they said something about new plating. But I would never be able to tell. I think from the outside it looks exactly the same as before. This newer SH (starting several months ago) doesn’t have the fake beat error arm like they used to have.
