If you're not familiar with the bracelet, the clasp has room to be let in or out and extend further.These are just amazing contributions and information, thank you for the effort that you made. I'm truly in love.... but now it started with the concern about the size 18.7/19 cm wrist and I got a feeling that maybe it will be to big on my wrist...? I have really confused feelings right nowand maybe I'm making some stress out of nothing... I don't have anything to compare, and I know I need to visit the AD... but here two of my watches with bigger dimensions;
Of course, this is a personal matter and taste, but I would like to hear your thoughts and recommendations.

Titanium Yatchmaster 42mm - 2023 release
- Thread starter Reto
- Start date
Thank you, but my concern is more on the visual/aesthetic side. I mean the watch is 42 and my wrist 18.5 cm/19 cm..
I have about an 17.5/18cm wrist and I feel quite confident wearing it. I am also accustomed to wearing a 46mm Galaxy Watch 4 Classic during the week at work, so the TI YM feels really nice to me.These are just amazing contributions and information, thank you for the effort that you made.

There is certainly room for improvement on the EWF, but for the price, go for it. I ended up buying a spare movement on aliexpress in the event the original one kicks the bucket. When that time comes, I will experiment it other option or maybe someone will have figured it out by then.
Can you share what is the make and model no. of the movement used in this EWF Ti YM? Thanks.
It was posted earlier in this thread that its a HZ7500 or 7xxx. A link was provided to AliExpress for a EW3235 movement which is what I purchased. From the pictures on Aliexpress, it looks exactly like what is in the EWF Ti YM minus the decoration.

My EWF Yachtmaster was delivered yesterday and i'm a lot more impressed than i thought i would be. For the money $351 delivered it's quite a solid comfortable watch. I can't see me wanting to upgrade to VSF/Clean even if they release something later this year.
That and what appears to be a threadlock of some sort. I had the same problem with my EWF Ti YM and a similar issue with a recent VSF 126610LN purchase. I found that a surface mount rework station soldering gun works well to release the threadlock. Just blast the thread side of the link with some heat and firmly remove the screw. Also, make sure you are using a good screwdriver that properly fits the screws.
I've got a quality hollow ground screwdriver but the problem i had was it was impossible to remove the screw more than once. It just spun and didn't actually unscrew.
The EWF Ti Yachtmaster is different from many reps i have in that it only has 12 full links so getting the watch balanced is more tricky. Then you have the easy link extension in the clasp rather than a glidelock system.
My biggest issue is that the screws won't screw fully in as far as the untouched ones do.
It's not a unique situation as i've also had problems with screws on a VSF sub. The only bracelet i've never had problems with is from Ginault and i am using a screwdriver designed for the job.
I think the key is keeping the link/screw pairs together. I didn’t switch any of them around – I put them back in the same location they came from. My assumption is the screws are installed then the sides of the bracelet are finished so the screws are flush.
I have a Esslinger screw set for the steel bracelets that I have and I oftentimes have to file/polish the ends of new screws so that they sit flush once tightened.

That was my experience this afternoon, filing away like i was trying to escape from jail
I have never thought of that. This may explain why often the screws of the rep bracelets are not interchangable between different slots
One thing i have only just noticed with the EWF is that the clasp is shorter than my VSF WG Yachtmaster which unbalances the watch for me.
I'm really not keen on the easy link extension. Can't understand why Rolex didn't go with the glidelock on this.

Was wondering the same about the glidelock. To distinguish from the other lines perhaps...
