Interested in this question too. i don't think ARF offers this Wimbledon dial... There's EWF to consider too! But overall i think BP/GMF seems to be the favourite...

Do you think that BP & GMF are on the same level?

I want this watch, too. From what I’ve read the GMF watch with ARF bezel gets you the best watch available. When I get to this watch on my wishlist; that’s how I’m ordering.

And if one wanted the 2 tone ? What would he have to do to reach the best possible with what we have ?

it was ironic of course. The sense is that to have a nice Wimbledon you have to use gen parts. just my opinion. if you are looking for other configurations you can find some great reps of the DJ41

CF might be the best available at the moment

+1. The CF Wimbledon looks pretty decent in the pics posted on Li's website. However, for me it starts with the reliability of the 3235 clone that CF uses for which there is no data. Even the VSF 3235 was "iffy", had to do a service/regulate and replace the autowind parts to make it reliable.

Just curious, would a CF wimbledon dial fit onto VSF DJ41, or a GMF dial would be better if I do not go towards the repfranken route?
