Mine was just sent out. It was a toss up. I ended up sticking with the black

I'm in line, even with the GF 42mm and gen mesh bracelet I'll still do the same on the mythical 46mm!

The watch looks amazing by the rotor is crazy loud! Spinning like no tomorrow, even after a silicon grease :-(

and there starts another "shitty 9015" debate :D Over there in china everything is about looks... and of course profit.

I would be more willing to pull the trigger if the watch would be housing a solid A2824 even without the new Tudor look...

The look, feel, strap is all top notch. The bezel click is not per GEN but on the arm it looks amazing. It’s just the rotor, it’s louder than anything I own. Even after a q-tip with silicone did nothing to quite the sound. It also spins freely for a long time.

Just asked Lucy if there was a 46mm SOH2 coming out and she said she will ask GF tomorrow, but thinks they may stick with the 42mm as its a much more popular size in China:(

Ouch, hopefully it is not like that!

I just received my black one. Wow! I honestly have to say it's the best gf release yet. I'm use to 44mm wayches so I'm going to let it go and wait for the 46mm.

Afraid so mate and in case you haven't seen the other SOH 2 post. Not good news from Lucy as follows: 'GF's boss replied me just now, they told me they won't make 46mm of it now.' Th
ought it might be the case as the gen they repped from ws the 42mm. Let's hope they get a gen of the 46 but given the size and the popularity of 42mm in China, I'm not holding my breath.

Did you let your 46 V2 go, or have you still got it?

I have a 6.5 inches wrist, and have tried the gen in an AD last week. Wears beatifully as the lugs curve down so much, literally hugs the wrist. No overhang. It's on the thick side (14mm) but it will easily slide under a cuff due to the downward sloping bezel.

This is the verdict I've been waiting for! May cancel my v9 116610 order and get this instead now

Do you think you could ask Lucy an extra question? Have GF forgotten about the brown dial or is it taking longer to make?
