VR3255 is finally out and in distribution, and EWF opens the chapter on a new era of Day-Dates

[jkrw247]

There will be no more need for Day-Dates to depend on 2836-based movements.

Friction-fit GEN dials will now drop in without modifications.

The combination of this new movement with weighted cases will make it possible for us to have Day-Dates that are closer to GEN than ever before.

This is EWF's new product lineup for its Day-Date watches that come with VR3255

Can't wait to see reviews on these new EWF DDs

 

[Feefo]

Interested. Looks like EWF has started to up its game recently with the Titanium YM and now continuing to find new products for us. Probably fed-up of being at the end of the chain GMF - BPF - EWF.

 

[McDuck888]

Well this is awesome. I've always wanted to drop a gen daydate dial in one.
Also liking the attractive bezels on an EWF DD compared with GMF's slightly sharp ones, super.

 

[mmaggi]

I just realized there's no yellow gold models in their ad

 

[McDuck888]

Oh yes! The movement picture is inside a gold model, but there are no gold models on the advert. Will rosegold or yellowgold models also be released please @jkrw247 ?

 

[jkrw247]

@McDuck888 bro the case in the pic is an 18K solid gold case, very very expensive and imo not practical for simple hobbyists

but don't worry, gold cases are a standard config for daydates and EWF should release them too. even if they don't, you can bet that GMF (1 of the best gold plating in the biz) will step up to fill the gap

Fully agree.
The GMF plating / color / finish of the yellow gold Day-Date rep is really spot on.

Great news with the 3255 clone movement. Amazing!

Great news from EWF

 

[jsp6dk]

Interesting news. I've been holding off on getting a rep Daydate because it still doesn't feel like there's a "go-to" gen-like option. Sounds like it might make sense to see what EWF can produce rather than jumping into the Tungsten GMT with gold plating.

 

[Storm.]

Well, time to get a day date.

 

[bowtiefanatc]

Ooooo, now I need to get this movement for my DD40

 

[KushBandit]

Is this only for 40mm? Any 36mm planned with this movement?

 

[mmaggi]

GMF is still the one to beat with regards to YG & RG. Waiting for more dealers to have them in stock as many don't have them right now.

 

[jkrw247]

I haven't noticed any 36mm at this time but I'm sure it's only a matter of time before they come out

 

[aHero]

Ugh I already have three DD. Will wait for GMF to get these VR movements into their tungsten cases, though.

 

[aHero]

Can’t wait to drop one of these in.

 

[sgt.njoy]

Another step up for a rep factory! Really can’t wait for tungsten case with a clone movement!

 

[WatchSmith.US]

Isn’t this one of those crap movements?
