What is missing in my 116900 AirKing?

Mine is JF Airking with Serviced JF3131, oiled, waterproofed and clean bracelet, screws etc. I found it to be Super rep and easily NWBIG as this is pretty new model and none of the crowd has ever seen in real life to even compare it mentally. But I don't see any mention of this as Super Rep? What is really msising? This is perfect daily wear(or actually weekend wear) watch for me and it oozes quality and looks great in real life. Very difficult to picture it well but here's one picture taken today morning.
So, what is missing in this from making it a super rep?

Looks great! The board is very Sub/SD/GMT oriented and other great REPs don't get as much love. Enjoy it, I will order one myself.

i think the consensus is BP maker watch head (mitigates 4 and 5's that look a bit off in photos from the JF) and JF bracelet as the BP isnt quite as nice. I really wanna put this together if anyone has one for sale i am looking!

I have the BP version, i agree with the others that the 4 & 5 on the JF and Noob versions is an obvious flaw. I havent seen anyone mention any obvious flaws with the BP version expect that the bracelet isnt as good as the JF version

BP has a much better shape of case. JF case is off.

Go with Bp head. Jf bracelet and closing mechanism JF. Bp clasp is better without edges and sharp corners.

BP dial needs relume...




The biggest problem on BP is closing mechanism. Bracelet is average

I think you got a bad one there... My BP doesn't have that issue at all, it snap closes nicely and opens fine.

I cant really say how bad it is as i dont have any other reps from JF or Noob to compare it to, but from what ive read from other people comments the JF seems to be abit nicer. That being said i havent had any issues with my BP and its bracelet, it opens and closes fine for me
