Hi guys,

Since the seller hasn't responded in a weekl I could really use your help
Tripdog advised me to post this here if you could help

https://forum.replica-watch.info/fo...sales-aa/10722501-rolex-datejust-41-wimbledon

I bought a supposedly Datejust VRF Wimbledon but I fear its a BP or less (and so I have overpaid) and something is very off with the bezel. Is wider than my ARFs
Overall the watch seems a lot less nice than my other 2 datejusts (both ARF)

Also the the sides of ther bezel feels rough and is unpolished/has weird spots on it(see last picture)
Also have some doubts about the numerals on the dial. look flatter than they should?

It's most likely a BP, though a GMF would be nearly indistinguishable. Movement is going to be 2824, despite Intime's drop down menu listing 2836 as the ETA option. GMF uses the 2824 and so does BP when there is no need for a daywheel. So worst case is BP 316 2824 at $308 new. Best case is GMF *stated* 904 2824 at $398 new. You can readily see the wider GMF bezel next to a CLEAN in the Trusty link.

If it feels really cheap in hand it's probably a BP/GMF. The dial Crown looks bad like typical BP. If you look at it from the side and the case looks thick it's most likely a BP.

I have a GMF, same bracelet code, but the rehaut is 3T82T839. The bezel is also different, better cut and mirror polish on the side. Cyclops and dw are dead on. It is a fantastic looking watch irl. I don't think yours is a GMF, but who knows nowadays.

Yea then it's BP. The GMF usually have better crystals then BP too and I don't see it with yours.

shykhai could you please let wimpie know where you got this to assure him that it is what you claimed it is. I know nothing about these but the general consensus seems to be it is not a VRF.
