It is better than the QFs I have seen and held IMHO- overall just feels and looks like a higher quality rep. Let me double-check on the day wheel though and report back. I don't recall seeing any issues, but that does not mean there aren't any. Give me a few and will see if I can grab some pics too.

Here are a couple pics of dif day wheel settings. I don’t see anything but I am no expert on this model. Let me know what you see.
Thanks, you're the boss. The bezel is mesmerizing. It's so tempting.
Bro thank you so much for your answer and providing pics. I dont see a massive issue with letter A, there is still some thick font there but nothign too extreme as others i've seen. Bezel is spot on. Looks fantastic mate, wear it in good health. Im pulling the trigger on this one too!Here are a couple pics of dif day wheel settings. I don’t see anything but I am no expert on this model.

I saw you have some plastic wrap stuck under your bezel. You dont need to remove the bezel to take it off, remove the bracelet, its easier.Can you also share which TD you used for this piece and when you bought it? Is this V3?
Ty- I caught that and fixed it.
Not a TD on RWI for this one. I am sure the ones here can get it though. Latest version. 3 I think but did not clarify as much as visually inspected during qc.
I dont understand 100% (maybe language baereer: sized, is the weight same? And what about the link sizes which ones are genspec? (Qf vs thb)Have seen basically no posts on the new THB tungsten DD40's so I'll start the thread. I'll let these images speak for themselves. Really nice finishing on the case, bezel, and bracelet, and does not have QF's milky white gasket. Crystal sits just right, unlike the QF which sits too high. Measured thickness is 12.42mm vs QF 12.75mm. 38.8mm bezel and 47.6mm lug-lug.
The weights on the scale are sized to my 6.3" wrist, with the QF having one less link as I was annoyingly in-between link sizes between this and one size up. As DD's don't have micro-adjustment, thankfully I am not in between link sizes on the THB thus the THB links must measure a hair smaller than QF. Each THB link weighs 3.0g vs QF 2.6g, so the THB still weighs 9g more than the QF with A2836.
Unfortunately the THB gold colors are very orange, unless you plate it like @Bullflo3 here (which btw looks amazing). So the only worthwhile models out of the box are this blue ombre and the olive dial in non-gold. The THB ice blue dial is very off too. But IMO this particular one beats the QF blue ombre DD40 hands down.
