THB Day-Date 40 Blue Ombre Dial Review, Tungsten Added-Weight SH3255

Really? That doesn't sound too healthy... But are you certain its wrapped in 904L? This is the first time I hear it is.THB core is tungsten with a 904L thin shell around it. I had one, which had a tiny chip at one lug. Revealed a dark spot underneath it. I have a sensitive skin, so i got a massive itchy rash from wearing it. Had to sell it, but i loved it. Was a amazing hefty rep.
Another downside was getting the crown back on the tube. Took some time to get the crown catching on the tube. Same goes for my friends exact same THB.

Or wrapped in steel. You can clearly see the material below the chip is darker. Also, steel doesnt chip. So 100% a steel wrap is my guess

Do you have more pictures? If thinking of getting a olive dial but there’s not a lot of photos of themTHB core is tungsten with a 904L thin shell around it.

Thanks for this. Do you mean screwing down the crown after setting the time is hardTHB core is tungsten with a 904L thin shell around it. I had one, which had a tiny chip at one lug.

They both look great to be honest. Are they both THB? I get your point about the blue one being the safer bet to avoid the issues with the RG tonalit, but that slate dial you have on the scale there looks lovely.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.

Here are a couple pictures.
I will say the crystal, although not apparent in my photos, is as clear as any vsf sub or gen and no mods needed. I also love that the bracket is weighted like the case so it is well balanced.

Love the video
ppl should post more videos 
looks lovely, how are you finding the bezel on this? my experience with gen’s is limited to the ceramic ones. But the DD has been giving me an itch lately. My impression of fluted bezels is that they’re quite blingy because of their angular structure and how light bounces off of it. Does the THB bezel look decent IRL or is it softer (slightly rounded)?
Thanks for the video, as an owner of DJ clean, I am impressed by the THB bezel. It is more shimmery than my DJ. It may convince me to get one in RG..
Any info if THB V3 fixed the day wheel font & alignment issue?
Do you think that THB V3 is worth the money compared to QF for the WG Ombre Blue?
I want to get the best Ombre Blue looking DD without modding it at all. Not looking for RG/YG, going for the 'safe' route of WG. Budget is not an issue. From what i learned so far THB V3 has best bezel, case and correct weight. But fucks up the day wheel which is significant.
