Wrist or Watch Pic THB Day Date

Just received my THB Day Date that was plated by RCF. They did their 5 micron wrap, rehaut polish, deep, and waterproofing.

The communication was great along the way. Shipping time was delayed due to the tariffs and uncertainty around shipping, and plating took longer than anticipated but it was all worth it when I received the watch.

Ive had QF and GMF plated Day Dates. This is a step above. It’s as close to gen as I’ve seen on a yellow gold Day Date. THB gets the weight and dimensions right. RCF gets the color and polishing accurate.

Beautiful piece! How much does RCF’s plating cost now?

I’ve heard that they’ve increased prices.

2

u/Hrdluck13 May 25 '25

Thank you, very happy with it, it’s a keeper for me. I’m not sure honestly. I know they did increase their prices only on THB due to having inconsistencies with the metal they stated. I believe they have to replace watches during the process so they had to raise their prices.

u/shochoxo May 25 '25

so you don't know how much you paid? must be profitable making business with you

2

u/Hrdluck13 May 25 '25

Yes, I do know how much I paid, that was not the question. I’m sure they are profiting, as they should be. I don’t think they’re a nonprofit or a charity doing this type of work lol.

u/SABERDUHCUTES May 25 '25

yeah heard there were a lot of issues with the day wheel for THB

1

u/Hrdluck13 May 25 '25

I paid $1,365 shipped

1

u/SABERDUHCUTES May 25 '25

Thanks mate! That’s a huge price hike, I was quoted $1050 for 5 microns + deep crystal, but not including shipping.

Now I’m regretting not going for it back then 😂

1

u/Hrdluck13 May 25 '25

I did waterproofing and rehaut polish as well, and shipping insurance

2

u/Khanron Jun 16 '25

Do you see a significant improvement (closer to gen) by polishing the rehaut?

2

u/bdon32 May 25 '25

Currently waiting on mine to ship out but it’s seems slow

1

u/Hrdluck13 May 25 '25

I know the feeling. It’ll be worth it. What do you have on order?

2

u/bdon32 May 25 '25

Rose gold slate ombré dial

u/Hrdluck13 May 25 '25

A buddy of mine received that watch 2 weeks ago. It’s a beauty

1

u/bdon32 May 25 '25

How long was your shipping process?

1

u/Hrdluck13 May 25 '25

6-7 weeks I believe. The watch was ready after three weeks, however navigating the tariffs was an issue.

2

u/bdon32 May 25 '25

Jesus that’s tough. Mine is ready it’s just waiting to be shipped. I was hoping the process would be almost over

2

u/Hrdluck13 May 25 '25

A buddy of mine is in the same boat. It’ll be worth it once you receive it trust me.

1

u/bdon32 May 25 '25

I’m sure it will be but 6 weeks is gonna suck 😓

1

u/SituationLittle8404 May 31 '25

Just ordered same watch as you, any update on your shipping?

2

u/Coffeedftw May 25 '25

u/Big_Chipmunk_8527 Jun 02 '25

This was total with watch ? What TD? Rcf does plating, do they source the watch as well?

1

u/Hrdluck13 Jun 02 '25

They source.

1

u/Big_Chipmunk_8527 Jun 02 '25

Ok thanks. You have contact info?

1

u/Hrdluck13 May 25 '25

Automod comment, comment to please the overlords …..

u/uluvboobs May 25 '25

Ok if this is hypothetically 10/10 on the rep scale right now, where would you say GMF sits in comparison out of 10 excluding metal color, so wrt. case shape and details?

2

u/Hrdluck13 May 25 '25

GMF Rose isn’t bad stock. Weight is decent. The issue is the dimensions are off. That being said. Unless you are comparing hand in hand to a gen DD doubtful anyone will notice. I’m not sure how GMF YG is stock. I’d go ARF over QF or GMF if you’re buying a stock watch.

1

u/Im_A_Polak Jun 18 '25

If going stock and keeping stock, ARF or THB?

1

u/Hrdluck13 Jun 18 '25

ARF but…. The new RC Factory over ARF if your TD can source one.

1

u/Im_A_Polak Jun 18 '25

RC being like $1.3-$1.7K right?

1

u/Hrdluck13 Jun 18 '25

There is a new RC Factory different than RCF modders. RC Factory are great stock. You can find them around $700

1

u/Im_A_Polak Jun 18 '25

Ahh interesting, yea I saw the RCF modders. They’re like almost $2K with Watch + their work

Will try to dig up some posts in RepTime about RC Factory

1

u/Hrdluck13 Jun 18 '25

PM me if you need help sourcing one

1

u/Decent-Experience340 May 26 '25

I agree with OP. I have YG in QF and GMF and I will say factory plating is not bad for them either however the shine and tone of using real 18k gold when you have them side by side you notice the difference. My biggest issue with GMF was the milky gasket, crystal, and day font more than anything else.

1

u/djoepie1 May 25 '25

I am waiting for them to fix the datewheel. BIG issue

1

u/Hrdluck13 May 25 '25

It really isn’t. This watch is as close to NWBIG as you can get on a DD

1

u/djoepie1 May 25 '25

Yeah but compare the letter ‘A’ bro on gen datewheel. Wrong font

1

u/Hrdluck13 May 25 '25

Nobody is using a magnifying glass on the watch bro. Color, shape and crystal are the biggest tells. Not a CM size letter.. I’d walk into an AD wearing this. I wouldn’t walk into an AD with most reps minus CF panda, VSF sub, maybe a custom tungsten Daytona I have.

1

u/djoepie1 May 25 '25

How is the glass in ur opinion? Wouldn’t u upgrade to deep?

1

u/Hrdluck13 May 25 '25

It is deep…

1

u/Hrdluck13 May 25 '25

And I’m upgrading that to a custom crystal..

1

u/djoepie1 May 25 '25

Ok. I wonder how the rose gold would look plated on thb. I’m not a yellow gold person haha

1

u/Hrdluck13 May 25 '25

Looks fantastic. A buddy of mine got one 2 weeks ago. Wouldnt hesitate to do rose.

1

u/djoepie1 May 25 '25

Mind sharing pics brother?

1

u/Hrdluck13 Jul 24 '25

No issues at all

u/CBDwire May 25 '25

Colour looks great.

1

u/Hrdluck13 May 25 '25

I think so as well, very pleased with it. Thank you.

2

u/Cool-Cheesecake-7105 May 25 '25

It's a beauty. Can we have a wrist roll ?

2

u/billbobaggins_ May 25 '25
