Sad news, GF/GOF closed and doesn't accept anymore orders, no more 43mm Bathyscapes! (2024 May)

Just received mine, it’s stunning .

Couple of negative points that other members might want to be aware of.
The bezel is fixed, doesn’t rotate.
The rotor looks rough, like some dragged it on some concrete for a bit. Also on the rotor it says Golo instead of Gold.
The bezel pip is a bit off centre, get your Reddit alignment tools ready .

None of these things bother me or take away from the enjoyment of the watch.

Oh also the crystal is terrible, I don’t think it has any AR on it. Trying to take a picture of this beautiful dial is almost impossible.

My bezel works, albeit it's very hollow and has a weird click.

Agree about the AR, and also agree about the garbage rotor (but who cares about that lmao)

100% this. even not to fussed about the bezel. Usually if I get a dive watch the only time I rotate the bezel is when I received it to make sure it works, so that I can never use it .

@Reaps first off thanks again for posting about this release . Also do you know if GOF are fully functioning or are they just making watches out of old parts like this one.

I asked about other GOF models such as their JLC and their Titanium Bathyscape as well as their Superocean, I got "no stock" as a response. So I wouldn't hold my hopes up but it never hurts to ask.

me too... I never touch the rotating bezel except just to make sure it's aligned to 12 o'clock
neither on GMT bezel, I will just add a second local timezone on my mobile phone if my destination is in different timezone

Quick update, the bezel does rotate, it was just very stiff. So true to form I rotated fully and now it will never be used again .

Watch is so beautiful, I think you could hypnotise someone with this, I find myself just staring at the dial at times throughout the day
