Go for the Gold Factory Tungsten version ! Most decent ghost on the market. Dial is beautiful and not purple-ish like CF one
Have a look at this, this is where I compare 3 differents dials for the 116519LN, the GEN vs GF vs RB dial ! RB dial was very very beautiful with IMO an important flaw : markers too long. Gen is Gen (and incredible haha) GF dial is really really decent rep, probably hard to say if it’s a rep or not if you don’t have Gen to compare .

And here’s a little comparison of the 3 dials ! Sorry for the light issue, I’m not a good photographer 😅 What can I say is : -Gen is beautiful with some reflects but not too much ! -GF dial is really good ! Not purple like CF, more grey-yellow. More matte than Gen. -RB dial is really...

I was a bit put off the QF by the SH4130 as I read they aren't very good movements.
Thank you for posting that thread. Will give it a read. Very much appreciated.Have a look at this, this is where I compare 3 differents dials for the 116519LN, the GEN vs GF vs RB dial !

Tudor and IWC are on my radar as well. Hopefully I can pick up one or two later this year.
There are some very nice IWC out there for sensible money, I bought this fully functional chrono etc Jaques Cousteau edition Aquatimer a while back ....

Hey friend can you tell me, how does the tungsten Daytonas feel? Have you tried the GMF DD40? I noticed the weight is very even as if the case itself is a tungsten alloy vs like if they just added tungsten weights into a SS watch.Nope absolutely not the same GF is Gold Factory
The go to version for tungsten and best dial ! (And SA4130 !!! )
Curious on if it's worth a damn to buy one on a Oysterflex , or if I should just spend the money with xingpatrick instead.
No never had in hands the GMF one. What can I say is that some Tungsten models are full tungsten (like the GF) and some has just the caseback in tungsten.
Full tungsten case are heavier and more Gen like because tungsten is around 98% the weight of gold.
One important thing that I can confirm is : there’s no tungsten clasp actually on the market ! It just DOESN’T exist
!If you want an heavier clasp : you need to go Custom Gold made clasp ($$$) or Gen ($$$$$)
!!!Oysterflex is very comfortable bracelet ! Im
More full metal watches man but I have to admit that I like more and more the Oysterflex

thanks for taking the time to write all this up. You honestly confirmed a lot of my suspicions (some use full tungsten case while some use weighted tungsten parts) I actually was messaging David asking for price on tungsten case set and clasp (if it existed) and now I'm glad to hear that I was right and the part is simply too difficult to manufacture in tungsten to the same degree. I'll probably just get a custom gold one like you said but steel isn't a problem for the mean time.
Guess I need to sift through all factories or just only buy GF (probably only gonna buy GF) or buy a custom case from David(=
Once again thank you so much. At least I know if I get a case from David it'll be like 150g~ vs me not knowing what a tungsten watch head weighs at all kind of sucks. If I'm gonna pay I'm gonna pay and get at least within ~5 of gen weight give or take 5/10.
GMF DD 40 is probably as good as your GF Daytona in its own way. Mine weighs 176g cause of some lead tape in case back so I absolutely love it. Loved it so much I just bought the Olive RoseGold one. I'll probably keep them forever and put ETAs in them.

I know I want a TC myself. Thinking of just getting a Ginault myself if I can find one for a good deal.
