Are you sure the top dial is gen?

JF blue print makes it unwearable IMO.

The overall fit and finish between OMF and JF is comparable.

JF hands are better.

OMF print looks gen with naked eyes (not zoomed in pictures).

JF and OMF could have same bracelet supplier. They feel very similar.
Why do you think that the jf hands are better?
And can you post a pic of the thickness of OMF?

Yep. It belongs to mech500.

I'm honestly still having a hard time thinking the top dial is a gen. The tapisserie squares themselves are too sharp and it just looks like another OMF dial.

Gen blue (from mech's comparison thread) and a white dial:

Here is a side by side comparison where you can see the difference in the hands. The JF hour/minute hands are a bit more pointy as per gen. OMF seconds hand also looks a tiny bit thicker :)

OMF middle case looks thicker than JF

Yes the bezels look the same, mid case looks thicker on omf but back case looks thinner than JF, so the omf could possibly sit on the wrist better.
really need a member with both to do a proper unbiased comparison

KSwatches you are doing a great review for the community to appreciate. I'm very thankful for this detailed pictures :) Don't want to ask too much here, but if you could do a video with the same side by side comparison you would win the internet :D

Maybe I used the wrong picture in compiling the comparison shot...I can’t tell.

Here’s another attempt:

mech500 gen (top), OMF (bottom).

That seems more like it...
The gen picture is also higher in resolution, but all of the details stand up to the macro. That exquisite level of detailing is really what you are paying for.

Different dials, mech has the new dial the pictures above are from the old dials ;) they changed the printing over the years (see small printing like the OMF vs. big printing like gen now).

Let’s talk thickness:

To my eyes, the mid/case is basically the same thickness.

The JF caseback looks fatter

The fit between the caseback and the mid-case, is more flush on OMF...which gives the illusion of the mid-case being thicker.


Don’t bother comparing fonts, too many gen variations...we are comparing the printing here.

I'm sorry! I was under the impression you are a dealer, That had just received stock.

reading my comment I realise that I used the wrong terms and did not mean to imply the way it reads.

thanks for your input it is appreciated, again apologies for any offence caused.

Having a thicker mid case but thinner case back make the thinning mode impossible on the omf, right?
What about use omf case back on the jf? Does this would match?

This is so hard to judge anything from my eyes, i need bionic eyes :)
