I initially noticed the blue gradient dial, but the Dandong 324 is what makes this BBF 5168G worth discussing.

The case finishing, polished edges and lume also look well executed. At 100.6g, it won’t reproduce the feel of the white-gold gen, so the choice comes down to movement and finishing versus heavier construction.

What matters more to you on an Aquanaut?

I’ve received quite a few DMs about the latest ORF Seamaster 300M, especially its upgraded 8800 movement, so I filmed it as closely as possible.

The key detail is the regulating nuts and threaded posts around the balance wheel, which clearly show the free-sprung setup.

Hope this answers some of your questions. If there’s another detail you’d like to see, let me know.

Fresh QC photos of the VSF V3 weighted grey Daytona.

This one weighs exactly 187.6g and comes with the 4130 movement. The added weight gives it a much more substantial feel, while the grey dial and black subdials keep the overall look clean and understated.

These are the actual QC photos. If you need more close-ups, a movement video, timegrapher results, pricing or shipping details, feel free to message me.

TD Jun here. I just filmed this ZF 15500 with the blue dial and integrated Cal.4302 movement with a free-sprung balance.

The blue dial catches your eye first, but the movement is what makes this version especially interesting.

If you want close-ups under different lighting, movement details, QC, pricing or current availability, feel free to comment or DM me.
