the center links are not that visible to the naked eye.. the SELs, well if you know where to look then you can see it

Got to see the gen in person today, truly remarkable piece. Can’t wait for my GMF to show up so I can try and compare
Absolutely stunning watch:
That’s amazing, your photos look better than any video I’ve seen of the gen on YouTube. Would love to see a full rose by GMF, the BP wrapped is just too much!

Which of these two models do you recommend for the first purchase? What are the differences between the two? https://www.intime03.co/rollie/5311...dition-black-dial-on-904l-bracelet-a2836.html https://www.intime03.co/rollie/5597...est-edition-black-dial-on-ss-rg-bracelet.html
Confirm the missing gold at mid links and SEL side. And - not to forget - the "usual" different gold colour between bezel and bracelet, but this is usual for replicas

where did you find the BP version? I've seen BP few times, is it a TD or a factory?
Apologize for the stupid ass question

No one will see the difference between 316L and 904L but everbody taking a closer look will see that mid links (and clasp) misses gold plating, so would definitely prefer the BP version.
If I had seen this before buying the GMF I would never have done this.
For me personally GMF it out of the race for the next years. Saving 1 USD in gold plating will let them lose hundreds of dollars in disappointed customers and readers of this forum

Both of these models are plated, meaning less thickness of "gold" than wrapped. The BP model is available as low as $298 from Trustytime so that should tell you something about quality. If you look at more pics from different TD's you can see just how poorly the plating on the sides of the mid links looks on a sample at this price point. If you are not willing to spend the money on a WRAPPED version with thicker and better quality "gold", IMO you are better off buying the GMF which makes no attempt at poor mid link side coverage and is better quality overall.

Good thread to read about this stunning watch. If there was a noob version of the thicker wrapped full BP then the $1388 would be a bit easier to fork out for. Would love to know if anyone has purchased this particular watch.
Got my GMF today, better pics when I get home. Initial impressions - very very close but crystal is a definite no-go, mine will be getting prof black hole. The bezel teeth are slightly deeper/longer on gen. I got the plated non-wrapped versión and can not even tell it has bare SELs. The feel of the bracelet is “ok”, gen feels buttery smooth and perfect, this ones a little sharp and not as refined. This ones a keeper.
