It was a silent opening, without the usual fanfare. But thank you.

every watch you can find it cheaper than our TDs, the thing is they are dealers, without the trusted in front. You pay an extra for that

@China Tim what is the thickness of these ? thanks

Glad Gcnlm995 was able to step in an answer that. We didn't have it in house yet, and we don't trust factories and supplier measurements. Once we QC done, which will be today or tomorrow, we will know for certain. We use digital calipers on all our QC checks, including lug sizes.

Any news on the GMT function? Is it like the ones from the Rolex reps or is it indeed a 12 hour GMT? Would be helpful to shed some light on that matter.

I don't know what you mean by "Rolex reps" The GMT does function, but as it is non-eta asian movement, the GMT works in 30 minute steps. Please see QC video I posted at the top of the thread.

Looks 11.5 from my QC pics (plastic on so hard to be very precise). Really very close. Super price fun watch.

We will quote 12.2mm thickness as our best guess as it measures 12.7mm with the thick plastic covering the watch. Added QC photo measurement done with our digital calipers.

I asked Dan to measure the thickness of the plastic itself, then we can have a better guess.
