Guys don't take it too personally, we are here just to discuss about a watch.
There isn't the perfect replica and we see want we want to see :) (said that my explorer is perfect :) )

I have always thought that there is something wrong with the lugs of my JF V2. Always seems thinner than Gen and bothered me too much. Checked here before but never find anything about the lugs. People always consentrate on E XPLOR ER issue.

This is the first time I have seen Lug comparison. Thank you for that.

Today a superlative job made by the magnificent, the amazing, the incredibile, the Watchmaker ... Harleysta91 on my beautiful explorer.
You all cannot imagine how dirt it was, expecially the bracelet..

its the 214270 from BP without bracelet ("head") - not every TD has it, i bought it via M2M. 3 is more like gen, dial color a tiny little better, case is a tiny little better...but overall the BP also has its flaws (no doubt about that, f.e crown, rehaut font etc.).

there is no perfect 214270 rep at moment. :)

Hi guys, in 2 minds whether to get the arf or noob Explorer.

Sceptical about the 3132 movement on the arf thus am considering the noob.

noob movement is better but the flaw is the lume color, is there any other flaw?

my advice: get the bp and order an arf bracelet. dont get me wrong: under magnification the arf dial is higher quality, but for daily use the bp is the best "genlike" option at moment (case, dial color, dial numerals)

noob 214270 is imho no option (3 also flawed, wrong lumecolor etc.)

but: my bp a2836 movement died 2 days ago, bought it used, lastet for 2 month...

Do you know if there are differences in the cases / stem, crown postition of the A2836 and A3132 BP Explorer?

Also does ARF sell their bracelet separately?

Does anybody know if the gen 3132 is a drop in for the 214270? My new explorer stopped after I left on the desk for 8 hours. Thinking of just getting a gen 3132 and just drop it in the ARF case.

it probably will although I do not recall seeing anyone actually do it yet. you want to spend $2000 on a movement? The other option is a service and two gen reversing wheels on your sh3132. that should do the trick. should only cost a few hundred
