Thank you for this comparison. JF still barely wins IMO. If only I could find a new gen blue dial. :)
Now I see why the OMF print seems better, it's using plates for all the minute indices. :p

It’s a little known tell for rep rotors and you’re the only guy to point it out in a long while.

The blending of these reps has been done, but I wonder what the ideal recipe of parts would be based on this write-up?

If you already own the JF, what’s stopping you from intuitively getting a JF bracelet to go with the watch?
It’s not like the OMF one will be made of solid gold or be so good that it will need to be placed on a pedestal to be worshipped.

So the question here is: what makes you think the OMF bracelet will be much better than the JF one, or whats stopping you from getting a JF one for a perfect fitment and color match?

Since you're getting a RG Bracelet. I suggest go for the Factory of your watch which is JF.

You might never know, there's a chance that the coloration of the RG in OMF is different from JF.

So there you go, IMO go for JF since you have a AP 15400 from JF =)

I read somewhere that the supplier of OMF and JF bracelets is the same. Of course this is not official information. But I would go JF of course. I actually prefer mine on the leather strap. :)

They might be the same supplier but they are attached at the end link differently.

It seems that both have their pros and cons and you guys always have great advice! I did consider the color differences, but just wanted to check with you guys to see which one is the best...

And the JF bracelet, IMO is a bit too expensive for just the bracelet! It’s 1/3 of the watch itself... so wanted to see if you guys have opinion on whether JF or OMF is better.... I’m also looking for a second hand bracelet if anyone has it.... so glad the site is back!!!

Someone in this thread mentioned that the JF and OMF bracelets have the same supplier. I am inclined to agree. Try the JF one anyway. It is my opinion that both will be on par in terms of quality.

Yes! Might wait a bit... save up some then spend some... waiting patiently for a used one... but, also feel like having ants under my feet waiting to buy one... the struggle... ????????????
