Hello everyone,

Was watching this forum for a little while and now i wanr ro buy a rep OP 39MM with the grey or the grape dial. I was wondering what the quality of this reps were and wanted to ask which version and TD you folks would recommend me.

if the OP is a low quality rep i could probably go for a nice submariner. Every comment is welcome just trying to get to know the rep world a little better.

According to Puretime, it looks like ARF is coming out with their version of the 39mm Oyster perpetual very soon! Might be worth waiting for.

I got a BP grey...... overall the build is fine, expect:
- gaps at SEL (I swapped the bracelet with a leather strap in the end)
- hour hand longer than gen (gotta live with it)

I have both the grape and the grey JF models and I love them, both are considered NWBIG.

I have the JF OP with grape dial. It’s a fine watch. You should get it.

Like I mentioned before, I have both colors in the JF and love them, neither has been serviced and they run like champs.
But if the new ARF is coming, you may find the JF or BP for sale on M2M.

If it's dead, should't it not move at all even though tapped? I thought all movements will stop ticking after power reserve depleted unless wind or tapped.

it's a shame to put them on sale because they are beautiful .. but the temptation of the 904L is high ..
