Clean or VF might charge 500 or even more if they manage to get a higher grade of titanium.

Can I post detailed photos of the watch from a non-TD (watermark on photos) in this thread (don't want to be against the rules) for educational purposes only? :)
That would be fantastic, I'm not sure if this is a issue around here.

That's actually the main reason for waiting, don't you think? It's also a good opportunity to save up a bit more allowance ;) :D

Doesn't look too shabby. Given the weight its clearly a Ti case and bracelet.

The interesting thing for me is how the Dial compares to Gen. without seeing one in the flesh it will be tricky for the factories to get a good match.

A VSF version of this based on gen would be nice...

I’ve ordered mine from Marv two weeks ago and so I really don’t care if VSF do one later, if it’s better I’ll buy it and flip the ewf version. For £320 shipped to UK it’s a bargain.

I’ve waited so many years for Rolex to build a decent Ti sports watch and considering I want the genuine one so bad but it’s made of pure Rolex Unobtainium right now I’ll take anything 🙏

No way… kryptonite is real I’ve seen it in a superman film so it must be…. Rolex Unobtainium is not available to us mere mortals only the gods

This looks like an SA3235, which in this thread says to avoid;

When someone gets one, pictures of the movement appreciated.

Thank you for the shares and great photos. As far as I can gather from what I've read; the movement EWF is using movement from Hangzhou? EW used this movement for the Yacht-Master 226659 (HZ3235) It's concerning that each review I've come across mentions a "crunchy wind," which typically isn't a positive indicator and sounds not so nice...

If you watch this video with the sound turned up i'm afraid the winding sounds very "crunchy"

That’s a Hangzhou 7500, it’s not a Rolex clone and has garnered a reputation for be a short lived pos.
