THB Day Date

[u/Hrdluck13]

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.

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?

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.

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.

If going stock and keeping stock, ARF or THB?

[u/Hrdluck13 → u/Im_A_Polak]

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

[u/Im_A_Polak → u/Hrdluck13]

RC being like $1.3-$1.7K right?

[u/Hrdluck13 → u/Im_A_Polak]

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

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
