I was actually hoping for the 42mm to be released first as the 46mm is too big for me ;) Fingers crossed that we get them in all colours an all sizes!

Black dial looks great and blue dial also looks good, bezel also looks good. Date font also looks spot on. Aero strap is a new edition and interesting if only it cane in deployment and 46mm.

Keen to hear more feedback.

Based on a few reviews I read online I think also gen aerostrap comes with this buckle and not deployment

I don't like the use of a 9015 just to match the gen tudor calibre optic...

Anyway - i think the exterior looks superb. Maybe there will be a 46mm too or even a real A2824...

Trusty lists the watch as A2824 but you can clearly tell by the position of the balance bridge and the similarity to the recently released tudor Pelagos V3 calibre which is basically a 9015....

I dont like the fact that the 9015 only charge the powerreserve in one side so it rotates free in the other direction... in many cases that makes a rattling noise and needs a drop of oil... otherwise i think the 9015 is a reliable work horse. Never had any issues with it.

the accuracy is spot on too - comprable to swiss etas
but in the end there is still the noose from the rotor... we will see what first reviews say! :D

You can get the deployment clasp. AN Factory is making it. My TD was able to get one for me. The cost was $178USD

Damn, that's half the cost of the watch!

but totally worth it IMHO - maybe GF is making some high end clasps like on the Bandit Avenger in the near future. I think the clasp for 98 USD was a pretty good deal (on trusty including the military textile/rubber strap)

So i don't think it is impossible for GF to rep this particular polished SS clasp.

AN Factory was the only one making the polished clasp. The workmanship is very good. I know the price was high but much lower than Breitling's $375 on sale for Mother's Day. I hope GF comes out with one at some point. Looks like some of the factories are figuring out they can make money selling us high-quality parts.

Really love the look of your brown version with the cuffs in addition. very sporty, simply functional and first of all classy, versatile in many ways.

I would enjoy a review of the recently released SOH with SWISS ETA on Intime's site... all of them look decent at first sight. Maybe someone is giving them a try haha
